We're going to recommend that they build the kit bot. We'll make special T-shirts for the workshop and we joked about having "Build the kit bot" translated to Chinese and put on the back of the shirts. (We will spend some time going over the robot manual from last year - I'll be sure to point out R02.)
The two halves will be useful - since the frames were welded there will be a bit of distortion. We can oversize one set of holes to get the two sides aligned nicely when we bolt them together.
We'll point out other stuff that is unique to the suitcase bot and wouldn't be done in competition - like the bumpers are only 1" off the ground and the bumper corners aren't ideal.
