Re: Winning Drive Train

I just want an answer on why the mods let this thread happen for this game 2009 and traction shouldn't be in same conversation. Next 1251's robot was 4 WD with some traction control and a one speed custom gearbox about 7ish fps. Saying this we were just fine with traction for 2009 in fact it was one of our strong suits. We made the robot weight as close as possible to the limit 119.9 and had no problems basically moved every robot we needed too at the Fl regional except 233 who had an amazing traction control program. Saying all this we could still be pushed sideways if another team had momentum no matter what happened. The fans seemed to work well for some teams at gaining speed but not really for gaining a whole lot of traction. Other then that there was no real way to gain an advantage on traction this year.
