For last years it was.

1. Low machine time and complexity.
2. Efficiency (bearing over bushing ect getting the most per cim as possible)
3. Strength/rigidity
4. Cost
5. Weight

Also the foot print was played with. Most every thing was focused around how to make it as less complex as possible. One thing we did sacrifice was assembly... We did not think about that very much.

We also spend a lot of time in programming optimizing the steering algorithms along with some things to improve brown outs in the CAN bus.
