Re: Drivetrains - How are you doing it?
I'd venture to say that teams 254 and 968 have the fastest drivetrains this year; both in terms of max speed and acceleration. They are running 4 CIMs and 2 FPs through a modified AM transmission.

254's robot was so fast at SVR that it was actually hard for their drivers to control it. After they removed the FP's it became more controllable and their game-play improved.

As for us, I can tell you were not going to do 2 CIMs again. Acceleration is horrible.
