Re: Stronghold Drivetrain Review

As a rookie team we went with the KOP chassis with 6wd 8" pneumatic wheel upgrade kit. A lot of teams had some crazy complex drivetrains, but I'm really proud of our simple design, which must have been one of the lighter designs. We never got stuck on any defenses, and we could cross at almost full speed with the tires absorbing most of the impact of landing. As a driver, sometimes I wished we had some kind of transmission to have more power for pushing other robots and accelerating quicker, but I can't complain. I always was surprised when I saw teams with tons of experience and complex drivetrains getting hung up on the ramparts or moat.
