Will the KOP have banebots next year?? My guess is probably...

After experiencing the problems they had with them this year, will they be the same exact banebots 56mm trannys?? my guess is no...


FIRST learns from their mistakes, and I think after seeing the huge struggle teams had with these this year, they WILL correct it.





As far as trannys go....254/968...the thing is just unbelievable. If you haven't seen it yet, hop around delphi and check it out:

Serious props to the guys over on the left coast for designing this thing. My entire team was drooling over it (and the rest of your guys robot ). Travis, thanks for explaining the hard anodize process to me, its definitely something we'll be looking in to.
