4 wheel drive (makes turning difficult, we need to replace front wheels with something slicker)

Well we can do both so it dosen't really matter... at the scrimmage yesterday we discovered that our lift uses the most power of anything on our bot. We basically relied on human loading as much as we could.

I would say offense in that we don't have the strongest drive train ever. One benifit to both sides however, is that our release point is about at 4.5 feet. At the scrimmage yesterday only one of our shots was blocked. We did get pushed around a little bit though.

Well.. as of now, nothing. Our programmers have their work cut out for them, as we were hoping to utilize the camera to get into position and fire in the beginning of the match. They make it sound like we will not be able to do that, but time will tell.
