Drive Train/Gearbox
Going into our teams second season, we had a few questions on what to use for our drive train and gearboxes.

1. What are the pros/cons of using the WCP VersaChassis over the kitbot?

2. Is it worth using all 6 of your CIM motors for your drive train because this is something we want to decide before the season but we probably can't buy both.

3. Is a shifter useful? Sharing past experiences would help.
-If so, dog style or ball shifter?
Thanks for your help!
