Confirmed.
494 was known for having just absolute beast drive systems. I believe they were one of the first to implement a 6 motor skid steer system (before we were allowed 4 CIMs/Chips). I remember they used to bring a dyno for teams to run their robots on find out how they stacked up against the rest for pushing power.
