I can't speak to the 2014 Kitbot because I have never used it, but on 423 we always build our robots so that we can remove the drivetrain from the robot, switch a wheel (or motor, gearbox, etc), and replace it in less than 5 minutes. If you could somehow modify the kitbot to allow for something like this you could get by with only one robot plus an extra set of wheels. (I'm not even going to try to guess at how to do this, I'll leave that up to your team.) That's what we do when we do outside demos and we don't forget to switch wheels (which doesn't happen very often).
