-Team 341
-My second year, team's fourth
-2 drill motors
-4 drive wheels
-0 non-drive wheels
-Chain drive
-We welded ourselves into low gear
-Tank steer
-Sensors: gyro for autonomous position control, optical sensors to pick up top of the ramp.
-Success: +100% autonomous mode; +GREAT wheels (high traction); good tradeoff of speed and torque
-Problems: -Drill motor mounts; -Wish we were a little faster
-Next year: Expect 4 dedicated drive motors, almost certainly
