As far as the kit bot goes, it can be a great base. However, I've seen many teams struggle with it for various reasons. The kitbot isn't really a single chassis design so much as a useable frame. It is designed to be a general erector set like setup, which can cause confusion for new teams and can also cause problems with mounting mechanisms and drive components. Our thinking here was that if teams have a variety of general designs available and explanations of the designs/features/concepts, they would be much more likely to build a reliable, competitive chassis as well as understand a little more about the engineering process in general and drivetrains specifically.

Craig, anything you could offer would be useful and greatly appreciated.
