Re: Question for John V-Neun and Paul Copioli
229 is using the chassis, but not the gearbox.
We decided that 2 speeds was important for us, and as such will be using a new revision on our transmission from last year.
I was in Manchester for kickoff, when I returned to Clarkson there were a lot of surprised teammates who wanted to know "Why did Lavery thank you during kickoff?" (No one on 229 knew about the chassis/transmission until they saw it on stage.) So I explained my involvment in the KOP process to the team.
Later on, the team decided to use the KOP chassis as part of our new drivetrain.
As I said before, I stand behind the KOP chassis 100%. I am proud to have been a part of it's design, and am proud to see my team take it to the field.
