Prototype design of WHAT??
The 2007 season is over, '08 is months away, and it is the middle of the summer !!

We took our 2007 season base that we developed with 687 and updated it greatly. We made everything easier to work with (whatever bothered whoever had to maintenence it) and maintain. We also made the frame easier to weld and more modular. Our final addition was incorporating off the shelf components such as AndyMark shifters to make production easier.
In terms of drive, all sorts of prototyping can be done during the off-season. Even if this base design doesn't get used for '08, the lessons learned from it will carry over. It also never hurts to have a fully assembled and running base to test with.
