That philosophy drove MANY decisions on the final robot including the decision to go with CIM motors in the drive, the addition of bearing plate doublers on the final drivetrain, the increase of material thickness in most locations, and more. Renegade is one of our toughest robots, in part because this chassis taught us we needed to build it that way.

We are overwhelmed with the number of responses we've received. We are going through all of the emails and will get back to everyone by tomorrow!

Very interesting, can you share in the details of the gearbox design and ratios you tested. It seems a number of teams had varying success with the 775pros in drivetrains during the 2016 season. Thanks again.
