Re: Standard vs. Custom Frame

I anticipate using the kit frame next year with our young team, but we'll see. We are engineering resource limited (although we have a "Tytus" which makes up for it) so we'll use every available asset we can.

Here's another process that I have applied to components in general - treat the kit chassis as the prototype chassis, and test out your prototype mechanisms on it. As resources become available to design & fabricate the actual "production" components (including the chassis), replace the prototype component with the production component. If any production component doesn't get completed, you have the prototype to compete with.
