Why didn't your team use the Kitbot frame in 2006?
Alright, we've heard many folks talk about how generally awesome the Kitbot can be for teams. (I've said it quite a few times myself.)
I'd like to know from the teams that rolled their own frame why they chose to do so. Was it weight? Force of habit? The desire to do something different? Something else I've missed completely after being spoiled for two seasons by the Kitbot?
(Just as a note: I'm not saying one way or the other is better. I just want to know why the other side does things like they do. It makes life interesting.)
