2 - Hundreds of hours of consistency testing and tweaking.

Re: FRC T-bone-ing and Hexagonal drive
This is entirely game dependent. Several teams were successful in 2014 using a 2+2 setup. Similarly safe zones in 2011, 2012, 2013 would have lent themselves well to this setup.

Re: VEXpro 2016
Sure thing, any team with (8) or more unused BB550 motors should email prosupport@vex.com

This is a common request, but unfortunately when we went to purchase BB550's for testing, they were unavailable.

If you like stalling motors at 12V for that much time... perhaps I can interest you in one of our sealed-can motors? :)

Re: Team 4592 Offseason Drivetrain
Looks good!
Are those side "pontoons" each one large piece? If so, the sheet-metal bending may be touch to accomplish. It is tricky to get a die into such a tall "U" section. If these do get bent,...
