ok, thats a good starting point. So what could you do differently this year?
smaller wheels?
not use skid steering?
limit the amount of power the driver can command to the motors if they are stalled?
Use the kit gearbox but add one more stage of gear reduction before the wheels?
this is the time to make those decisions.
