Pros:
1. Easy way to add h-drive to kit.
2. U approach straffed well even with a heavy load of totes on the straffe wheel side on robot.
3. Clearance to cross bump easily
4. Ajustable spring for allowed us to dial in quickly during a regional.

Cons:
1. Reduced pushing capability due to spring approach to load center wheel in games of defense.
2. Limited travel of center wheel due to using kit plates for 5th wheel
3. Heavy
4. Needed gyro to help compensate for tendacy to turn during straffing.
