i posted this earlier

here was our omni-drive killough from 2002, we loved this drivetrain. its super maneuverable and very easy to program, but we had no traction. we didn't need the traction back then though, so it wasn't a problem......this video is worth watch though.

we never got caught up in definitions when we built our drivetrain............

since there is so much talk about omni-drives, i thought i'd let you know that we're still waiting to use our next generation Kiwi Drive............stay tuned, its been two years in the works.

for now, check out our old video from the pre-season of 2002, this was a video we unveiled before competing with our reworked chassis. it was more fun to drive than to watch.

the first and last FIRST Killough, for now
