We find the kitbot is absolutely essential for prototyping our drivetrain and other mechanisms. It also lets us get a representative drivetrain on the floor within a couple days to start drive team practice and programming autonomous paths.

This year, we used it to prototype our kicker, our ball grabber, and used it to experiment with modifying the location of the CG of our robot and changing chassis heights.

I'd certainly hate to see it go - you certainly wouldn't get a slick modular system that you can bolt up in a hurry any cheaper anywhere else.
