Don't give up - FIRST might just not be the same without a techno-tank drive. If I may be so bold, let me suggest something. Carefully analyze the problems you are having with your design, list it's strengths and weaknesses, and then decide if you can do something to overcome it weaknesses without compromising its strengths. This is what engineering is all about!

Raul,

Thanks for the encouragement. I do feel that if we would choose to do treads again, we would make them much better and learn from some mistakes during last year's season. We are not totally ruling out treads, we just don't like 'em much right now.

I agree that teams learn from mistakes and strive to make things better. We TechnoKats are not jumping to conclusions about drive trains until we see the kickoff.

Andy B.
