Who is using the kitbot?

[Ellery]

Our team is using as much of it as possible... Mainly due to ease of construction, cost, and ease of maintenance. Unless your team has alot of resources to make a really light, robust, frame via Tig welding this is a step up from standard extrusions but yes you'll give a little in some durability since it isn't as beefy as standard extrusions.

Anyways most stuff we've built in the past is overkill in design.

With the changing tides of a smaller team and less $ and resources since we are sponsoring 3 teams this year on a 2 team budget and sponsoring the Finger Lakes Regional we'll take the more efficient path.

Believe me these kits have evolved so much, at least from all 14 years of this program you wouldn't believe how much freedom we have now compared to 10 years ago. I remembered we couldn't spend more than $425 outside the Kit at one time.

Happy Bot Building y'all. And I hope to chat with all the teams who are coming to the Finger Lakes Regional.
