3. Lifters are slower than launchers
I'm curious though, which side is the one with less power? From the pic it doesn't look like you're using a differential + 1 power plant so I'm assuming one side has the RS-540 and the other has the RS-550 banebots motors. Was there a noticable bias to the driver?

Thanks-
the left side is slightly weaker but gearing the different gearbox modules adjusts for the different motor specs. Theoretically the output of each of the twin motor modules with the FP-Banebot pairs is equivalent to the output of the CIMs used. Each side of the drivetrain has 3 motors and roughly equivalent power. We chose to have the weaker side on the inside to accomodate the turning on the field ends.
