Oh man. This was why we were destroyed in Galileo last year (finished CMP at practically the bottom, despite amazing showings at our regionals). We had gone with a dropped-center 6WD, but a few matches into CMPs, our drive started throwing chains every single match. To this day, despite numerous off-season repairs, it still constantly throws the chain (we found that one spacer had been chewed up, allowing the wheel to slide on the axle, throwing the sprockets out of alignment, but the problem persisted).
Another one is strategy, which is absolutely crucial in eliminations. It's part of the reason we lost semis in NY, since the other team had put a starvation strategy into effect (this coupled with our alliance captain losing comms).
