Re: Drive train help.

Team 3259 actually assembled their wooden chassis at the Smoky Mountains Regional this year. I don't know that they played in their first few matches, but by the time they got on the field, they had a powerful drivetrain that did well on defenses. If I remember correctly, they used 4 CIM's and two mini CIM's to power it, and it was impressively fast for something that was assembled the day of. If done correctly, wood is a perfectly acceptable material for an FRC chassis. Also, the BitBuckets have shown that wood works.
