It also took a bit to get framing supported for mechanisms, there just isn't alot of framing on a wcd. Most of the framing required alot of attention throughout competitions. It's all fairly minor complaints, i don't have an issue doing a wcd again but i think a different approach could free up resources for us.

Can you post your frame and bumper setup from season?

It's for anyone willing to read it. Is this the only drive you are developing this fall, or are you also re-designing your WCD to have something to compare to?
Maybe look at vexpro drive in a day, and modifications (or stock) you could do there. I know 558 was really happy with, and just posted about it.
