Re: compact transmission

I like not having to worry about wires getting caught up. Another advantage is it makes it ALOT hard for the programming people to mechanically break anything. (we have this issue with other parts usually)
This next iteration will only have 2 gearboxes rather than 4 like last year one in front one in back.
We've weighed the pros and cons and coaxial came out on top for us.
And everything ends up a little more spread out and easier to maintain.
