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.

well both 354 and 2681 had the KOP drive train thinking that over designing the drive train would kill us on time and weight. but if all that does not matter then, was having a traction control program the key to pushing people around and speed? or did teams see that having a wide base with 12+ wheels the way to go? i look at teams like 2753 and they fly with no problems. being the coach behind the glass, and involoved in first for 9 years, i just looked slow. im trying to see where i went wrong. both weighed 119.8 and weight was even through out the robot.
