We did the first year they switched to the new AndyMark AM14U systems. We wanted to make sure we could help rookie and young teams build it properly. So we got the one in the kit and had a portion of our team build it and see if they had any issues and we learned from it. Then when we had other teams come to our shop to build their drive trains, we could help them.
