I don't mean to come off as rude, but from all of the times I've watched Skyfire (that's a lot), I always had this feeling that Slipstream was so much better drivetrain wise. It was more maneuverable, smooth on the field, and didn't rock, whereas Skyfire rocked a bit and didn't drive so smoothly.

Is this done on purpose in the design? Is it because of new drivers? Or do I just love your 2011 robot too much?
