Thanks for the advice. What we did last season was drive our previous robot on the new field, giving them obstacles to avoid and drive around. We ended up using the same type of drivetrain, so that helped with drive practice. I would like to see them choose another drivetrain like omni or swerve, but those depend on the game. If we do go with a new drivetrain, drive practice will be a huge focus.
