What did people run in 2009, out of curiosity? Were drops even used?

As an unrelated side note, using omni wheels on the corners instead of treaded wheels will of course greatly reduce the required drop.

No need for a drop in 2009 because of the lower CoF, I think a lot of bots went with 4wd because of it. You see the same thing in battlebots too because of the steel floor.
