Our team found the KOP frame to be quite strong. We built our 2006 and 2008 bot out of it. Our 2007 bot was built out of 10-10, and 20-10. Regardless, both bots have held up well. We've jumped roadside curbs, ramps, pulled wheelies, and hit lockers and walls at full speed with our 2006 bot and besides losing a few screws which weren't loctited, it hasn't sustained any damage.

The KOP frame is useful for us, because it's light, easy to assemble, and it is easy for new team members to build. Of course, it's strength depends on how it's built, but we haven't had any problems.
