Thanks for reminding me about 116's drive way back when. It inspired me to build a
dual omniwheel and a holonomic demonstration chassis.
Thinking about these past efforts makes me really grateful for AndyMark and VexPro/WCP. Today's FRC teams can spend more time on tweaking and practice, because we have access to good COTS components.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
