BAck in 95 when Nashua was a well known team, we used tracks for our bot...they were so well designed and made that they did not need to be replaced until after nationals! adn they were on it since around week 3! now the bot did horrible, but the drive was a tank!
Our team this year(134) has taken advantage of the awesome breckoflex tracks, they are totally amazing, a self tracking feature? who woulda thunken! and hey CD...Pembroke this year will be a force to be reckon with.
