Unless I'm mistaken, (which happens a lot in FIRST --we learn this way right?) could you use a friction drive to the wheel and ditch the second reduction? I only thought of it because of the minibot gearing-up, gearing-down and final ratio power loss. Or would a friction drive could prove too unreliable in pushing matches?
