Yea, we found out after getting the kit tranny's that it was alot more efficient to use them. Instead of spending 2 - 3 weeks designing and machining tanny's, we can use that extra time to design and perfect another aspect of the machine. Remember it's not always about speed and strength(but even if it was, the kit tranny's provide enough speed and torque), but how efficient you are at doing a certain task as well.

But kudos to all the teams who design bot kicking tranny's! haha
