Thanks! We're using the Kitbot drive gearbox, though geared differently and with different tires. There's quite a bit of torque, it's faster than last year, however, not exactly sure how it compares.

Well...we did need a summer project this year. Not only was it useful during a match...autonomous mode was a snap to make. Our programming actually developed a VisualBasic program where all you did was drag the robot around a picture of the field and it wrote all the coding for you.
