Did you find this change to be beneficial? Not to call you out but your team missed eliminations at both of your events, was the issue the drivetrain or did it fall elsewhere?
If it was the drivetrain, what was the main reason it was ineffective at playing this game? Would you run this system again in different situations or do you feel it is unsalvageable (if so, why)?
Also, if you don't mind me asking, what was the reasoning for using only 2 CIMs on your drivetrain in 2012 and 2013?
