Re: Drive Train Comparison 2006

Drivetrain success, as has been stated, was largely dependent on your strategy.

I know at least for our team, we would have gone back and built a faster drive train for last year, because there were numerous times we just wanted the darn thing to go quicker.

We're prototyping a new style of drive this Fall, and if all goes well with it we will probably use it next Spring (it won't be exactly identical, but pretty darn close unless the floor turns into water). We're actually building the full system to help give everyone more experience before spring starts.
