It also wasn't that great at going over slowly. In short we weren't satisfied with going over defenses if we couldn't do it in a fast AND controlled manner so we opted not to go with a modified kitbot. Even if it meant sacrificing build time that could have went towards something else like the shooter. It seemed/still seems worth it since the drivetrain is literally half the game this year.
