This is the precise reason behind designing the frame and gearbox as it is. If need be, we could change the bot into a 4 wheel tank drive, with minimal work required. As well as this, once the game challenge comes around, this design is very modular, to allow the best possible game manipulator to be added with as much space as needed to the frame.
[edit]
As for experience doing a Crab, this is building off of our Triple Play Crab drive, which worked quite well. This design allows for easier programming (that goes along with a fun new control and OI scheme), easier machinability, and a lighter weight system. Did I mention it has a 2 speed?
