You can make the kit frame work, for sure! That doesn't stop all those teams from milling frames out of thick sheet aluminum

One thing I've learned over the past few years is that there are many far more important aspects of robot design, than how the chassis is made. Chassis design is a great area for teams to do things how they want to....whether it's to save money by using a kit frame, show off their CNC design abilities, try out different materials or construction methods, or whatever.
