Has anyone ever done well with a 2 CIM drivertrain in any year OTHER THAN Lunacy (where lack of traction precluded drivetrain power)???

Robots are like athletes on a field: soccer, football, hockey...

If you don't have strong legs, then you don't have a decent athlete on the field.

Have you ever seen a successful defensive lineman with spindly legs?

I can't imagine a game other than Lunacy that I would ever recommend a half-powered drivetrain for.

All one has to do is experiment with the drive-train spreadsheet (CD-20071127-Speed_Optimization) to figure that out.
I TOTALLY AGREE!!! Man, Thank God there is someone with the same mentality as me! (Coming from a football player) I recommend squats over all other lifts (except maybe for deadlifts)
