Einstein Drivetrains?
Is there a breakdown of the types of 2014 Einstein drivetrains (6 wheel center drop, mecanum, etc) and how this year compares with previous years?

For the past two years there has been one butterfly on Einstein: 2014 - 1477, 2013 - 148.

Thought 1625 was butterfly? It looked like they did some fancy spin moves that weren't possible with traction wheels.

So, not even octocanum? This is worse than the Curie Curse! :D

Currently there is a high concentration of WCD, but I expect that to change in a few years. The higher concentration of butterfly and swerve designs will eventually create a new design that will overtake like WCD did.
WCD was not used much in the early years either. |

That said, I could definitely see the drive train landscape change to a more butterfly-oriented field say 3, 4, 5 years out, and it would not surprise me if it's more than just the "teams in the middle" making the change. Just look at a team like 33 or 1732. Two well respected teams that end up in the finals at their events more times than not that put out good drop centers on a year to year basis that switched to butterfly-esk drive trains this year. Either way it's definitely something to be tracking on in the near future. |

But speaking of "cutting edge" drives, I have an entire folder of pictures of your teams drive this year, absolutely beautiful. |
