Re: Defensive/dumper hall of fame

716- an excellent dumper.
306- great defense!


1394- well, we arent worthy yet, but that is only because our drivetrain is so strong that we A.) misaligned our extruded aluminum chassis the first time we turned on the motors on the ground because of our extreme torque, and B.) bent the 3/8" steel shaft our wheels run on! This caused problems all regional with us dropping chains on the field almost every match...but we still pulled 21st seed overall (3rd after selections), out of a field of 46 (our best year yet- it's sort of embarrising). However, just wait untill nationals; we'll be affecting a change to wheels with a 5/8" or 1/2" hub so that we cant bend the shaft, and adding tensioners incase we do to prevent us from dropping our chains as easily.

drivetrain weighs in at about 70 lbs, and our tranny assemblies + motors take up about 35-40 of that; 4 AM single speed trannies, 4 small CIM motors, 2 minibike motors.

Be afraid!
