Re: FRC Blogged-Kit of Parts Drive System Option

We always appreciate AM's efforts, and given the information provided, there is a very good chance we'll pick the chassis option over the PDV again. Getting a frame on day 1 where we don't have to do much fabrication and every part is aligned correctly is hard to pass up. Gates' belt system is also awesome. We have ran it through 7 competitions with no issues, and we will happily use it again.

A couple requests, if Andy/others are watching, which I'm sure you all have probably considered:
1) Making the length/width ratio a little less this year in the long configuration to improve turning
2) Making the drive shaft of the center wheel hex if possible, so interfacing a VEXPro transmission is easier and the system comes together without keys.
