Thanks!! The drivetrain is the VEXPro 2014 Drive-In-A-Day Chassis. I want to say about 80% of our parts are from the VEXPro VersaFrame. The shifting is powered by pneumatics and those are 4 inch mecanum wheels.

This has been a fun drivetrain to work on and test this year. It was a huge learning process for us because we haven't done anything like this before. We're still learning and we hope to be very competitive this year!!
