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

You've seen a kitbot frame BREAK?

I won't contradict that evidence, but will agree that with the vast majority of posters on this thread that... properly assembled... the things are darn near indestructible when used in FRC applications. We've used them ever since they were part of the KOP... and while we chop them, mill them, weld them and flip them upside down, they always come out far stronger than we need.

I guess you can make anything break if you build it to break (although the kitbot frame is pretty hard to screw up), but anything that breaks a kitbot frame is probably breaking most custom frames of similar weight, too.
