Re: Team 2363 drive train
Looks pretty solid. I'm not sure that going super-lightweight is a good idea for balancing issues, but it does save a lot of weight resource for manipulators. (I'm biased though, team 4265's drive train is particularly heavy this year.)

Is it a center drop? What kind of method did your team use to decide to use this drive train? Any particular design brainstorming? How long have you been using colsons, and what were you using before? We've been using the vexpro ball-shifters for a while now and really like them. How has your experience been with them so far?

Edit: How long did it take you to 1. Get all the parts? 2. Assembly the drive-train?
