[Lil' Lavery]

In my entire time in FRC, I can only recall of two matches where I had the thought "boy, I wish we had a higher top speed." Once was in 2009, when the robot we were supposed to be harassing and scoring out was outrunning us the entire match and we couldn't do anything about it*. The other was in 2010 when there was a defensive robot who could get across the field faster than we could, which made it very difficult to score on them. Usually my regrets over design choices stem from somewhere else, even within the drivetrain.

*Worth noting that robot eventually ended up on Einstein.
