[GB330033]

Team 1255 started with a tread-based drive two years ago, kept the treads last year, and moved away from them to a 4WD this year. However, all three years the drives were structured for power over mobility. Anyone that saw us this year wouldn't dare call us an "agile" team, but when you can nearly push another robot onto your ramp at 3/4 power (missing one of 4 chains) then you know you've got a strong drive.

I'm graduating this year, but I'd like to think that the team will keep the defensive strategy that has served us well. That said, hopefully they will explore other 4WD setups (other trannies besides the kit), 6WD setups, and maybe delve back into the tread designs.
