Re: 2008 and drivetrains

I think the biggest key to drivetrains this year is going to be driver practice. Regardless of what kind of drive system you have, your drivers are going to have to be comfortable with your machine. It may be better to have a simple, reliable design done with time to spare, than to have a complex one that you have to finish at your first event (and therefore get no practice).
