We start with the kitbot frame (it may be heavier that some other solutions, but it's the quickest thing we can get going, and it have everything you want in a frame). From there, it's pretty much all sheet metal and angle stock. We usually end up having the machine shop at our primary sponsor do a few small things for us (lightening holes or complicated patterns), but 99% of the work is done in house, by the kids.
