Maybe you can post what exactly your team did with the kit frame & drive to experience the less than stellar results? Were all four wheels being driven? Did you have your maximum weight simulated with a trailer?

If you just assembled the kit frame and gearboxes and threw the electronics on it, I could see why it didn't perform so well.

Also, did you have it set up with the 28" end as the front of your robot or the 38" end? You will have an easier time turning this year with the wide chassis setup.

Crab drives are hard on any normal year with a normal playing field surface, and this year is even more difficult. I'd stay away from it as a rookie team and focus on your ball delivery mechanisms.
