Re: Community/Open Source Chassis Project

I disagree. I am talking about a design that would require very few tools (i.e. a saw and a drill), yet would be simple and competitive. The kitbot is nice, but rather than trying to make it work better for a maneuverable, dependable chassis, it makes much more sense to start with a clean slate. It is surprisingly easy and inexpensive to build a frame that is much more suited to your needs than the kitbot, and I think that doing so will make many teams' lives easier.
