Re: quick question to all about why using KOP metal.
I personally have never seen a kitbot fall apart, and I have seen multiple welds break under situations like those you have described. The kit metal itself is more than strong enough. Loose bolts due to lack of loctite, etc, might cause problems, but I have seen no evidence that there are unavoidable flaws in the basic concept/structure of the kitbot. Until I see this, our team will probably continue using it in some form, and encourage others to do the same.
