Re: quick question to all about why using KOP metal.

so why do teams risk it? (i understand if u cant due to not having some resources.. but if you DO have them.. why aren't u using them?)
What do yo mean broke KOP frame teams?

what is the goal you are trying to get at with this thread, and what team were you on previously?

Why don't you ask some of these teams who have used the KOP chassis...

121, 148, 229, 2056....

so in the end it has been tested by some of the top teams and have been used by so many others, why waste time and man power and cost? the KOP chassis is something that is in the kit and can be assembled in ONE meeting, the day of kickoff. it's an excellent frame for teams with a low budget, not many engineers or any of that, and in the end it's given to you!
