I attended the drive train session last season and I remember the use of the Lego Technic motors. I thought that was really helpful. It allowed for the hands on interaction and allowed the students the ability to try it out themselves. The obstacle course I remember allowed for some challenge. Although it also became a distraction...

There was also a power point describing the different types of drive trains with pictures. For me, a visual picture isn't enough for me to understand it. It has to be tangible. I know that access to the different types of drive trains may be difficult, it's just a thought. I would especially like a look at a crab system, since that is the most difficult. It just may provide some inspiration for the rookies...
