Quoted this for emphasis. Many, many teams would benefit immensely from taking the standard kit bot and tweaking it slightly. You don't even need a 2-Speed if you do it right. Just gear conservatively (~11fps or so) with some traction wheels and odds are that you'll out perform most machines at your event - especially if you always move.
