IMO the kop drive train was more competitive this year than ever before. Although pnw is not know to have strong drive trains we had our most successful season yet running a kitbot drive. The only time we regretted that choice was in Galileo finals when we were too slow to get around defense.

With proper maitnence and lots of reinforcment the kop drive was one of the best on the field in most matches.The only downside to the drive was that we needed to replace the wheels at least once every event.
