Best simple robots based on kit chassis?

[Jeremy Germita]

2014 Championship Finalist 5136 was an excellent robot built from the AM14U. It's a robot that a lot of teams, mine included, should have built in 2014.

We love the AM14U frame. We've used it in 2014 and 2015 before we had the machining resources to do a WCD. We used the AM14U3 in 2016 for a prototype testbed. It was really nice to go from box of parts to driving base in under 4 hours.

My old team(1318) decided to switch to the kit chassis in 2013. The 2014 bot was the simplest and arguably the best. Pictures are on the TBA for each robot

In 2014 my team used the AM14U and had our most successful year until that point. With the time we saved not designing and fabricating a chassis, we were able to build two robots (a first for the team).
The chassis held up fairly well with a few minor issues all season.
