One small suggestion, have you thought about 3Cim gearboxes? They are an easy way to increase the torque available on your robot and make it generally faster.

Awesome to see more Oregon Teams on CD, good luck!
I've been considering 3 cim gearboxes but I am worried about the cost of getting them. If we find a way to set aside a bigger budget for our drivetrain then we might switch to 6 cims
