Hopefully this year's drive train will be better.
For a small team like ours the pre made drivetrain was essential. It was solid and effective. There was only one problem: It was too fast. I called around for alrernate sprockets for the chain and quickly found that the kit ones were of a custom design and there was no way i could aquire any without making them myself.
Sure i could slow the bot down in software but that would sacrafice torque and would require a nasty algorithm so i could still output the necessary horsepower when steering.
I would *really* like to see this year's drivetrain use more standard parts.
