TEC CReW Hammerheads

Pros: Tank Drive on the fly shifting tank. Blue Supergrip Brekoflex treads. Drive = CIM + Drill on each side. Very, very fast in high (actual 9+ ft/sec can jump the plastic top) Very powerful in low (2 ft/sec) Robust - No failures at GLR in any system. Can stack 4+ holds 4 in the cage. 110 lbs in the base one of the lowest CG stackers out there. Diamond plated armor. Reliable auton about 4 sec to the top. Hilarious Shark mascot that loves to dance! Calm Driver and quick thinking coach.

Cons: Having some difficulty with turning in high due to new treads, will make mods in Houston to compensate (Solid center belts are 2x strong but fit tighter in the pulleys. Can only stack bins that are right side up. No ability to self right, but haven't needed it. Can not go under the bar in stacker configuration. Inability to take out more than 3 stacks in auton.
