Kitbot pros and cons

In my teams first three years, we used the "Kitbot" with modifications for gamepiece manipulation. Last year, we welded our own frame and it worked out really well for us because we were defensive minded. The frame was solid as a rock and we never had to worry about losing nuts and bolts.

This year, we're considering going back to the Kit frame because speed is so vital and the Kit parts are so light.


What are your thoughts on the Kitbot? Any pro's or con's of using that opposed to welding your own frame?

Thanks,
