Re: vexpro drive in a day thoughts?

I think it is a great system! I liked working with it because of the simplicity, but found several complaints. I found while assembling it that the tolerances were off. When I bolted the bolts on one side perfectly, the holes were misaligned on the other side. I had to push really hard in order to put the second set of bolts in. Also the battery holder is good, but putting it in another position other than the predesignated place wasn't very easy. The battery tray wasn't the best designed piece in my opinion. Other than that, it was a great kit and it served the Discobots well this year. I cant wait to see the next revision of the chassis.
