The drive train is the most critical part of making a robot competitive. If new teams have good drive train components (enhanced versions of this year's gear boxes and motor mounts) with a choice of gearing, they will be competitive. Then if we build multiple levels into the game, they will be able to contribute to their alliance.

Don't defend the drivetrain FIRST supplied us with, we're a 4th year team with decent facilities and financing, and we didn't move well till the second day of the second regional. If FIRST wan'ts to even it out a bit, give us gearsets for 4 motor drives made out of
metal; the one this year was weak (both in power and in construction).
