Re: 2008 and drivetrains

We debated using a steering system for the first few days, but as of recently backed off of it. My gut says that the field will get congested enough that the loss of manueverability will hamper the advantages of a steering system set up.

A few students on our team feel that crab is the optimal choice - but we're too nervous about going down that road without testing in the offseason. This year will definitely be a season with varied drive trains.
