Oh, just great. That system worked fantastically last year. It is also true that we were actually very light too. My mentor says that the code is fantastic, the best handling in history, but that was on the concrete without an arm or minibot to weigh it down during week 2.

Oh and thank you, that is what I suspected. I have been pushing 2 motors since week one, but I guess the drive people thought the extra weight was not worth it.
