There are easier ways to get maneuverability, but you can lose lots of power. Any drive system (or any system for that matter) that is designed during the offseason has an element of risk; the rules or game design may force a different setup.

And, in this case, there are definite advantages, if not to applying it for the 2009 game, then simply to doing it. For one thing, they're learning CAD. For another, they're thinking about new tricks to try in their second year. If they do build it, then it'll be a good experience and a pretty good freshman introduction.

True, I'm so use to doing things the same way every year when it comes to drive trains. It is good for learning how to build and for using CAD. I was just talking about the drive it self.
