Re: CHIPS

My assumption all along has been that the chips have more power, but that could be wrong. The reason I think a lot of teams don't use them is the need to build a gearbox for them. Until this year, our team didn't use chips because of that same reason. The drill motors have a simple and reliable gearbox, so if no-one is going to really care/work on the drivetrain, those are the best choice. You could put one of those together in 20 minutes right out of the kit.
