This was a huge design commitment for the team. All 4 Cims and gearboxes are on the right side with a driveshaft to the left wheels. The belt is driven by this shaft, geared for the same linear speed as the wheels. We have 30lbs of balast weight on the right side C rail. And a sliding battery tray. The super low CG also makes us a good stable two bot regular balancer too.
Thanks to all for the interest. We were honored to receive the Creativity Award at Livonia districts.

That is an incredible design comitment. This is one of the most creative things I have ever seen in my time in FIRST. Will you guys be at championships? I would love to take a closer look at this robot.
