We found that this drive works really well for going over the bumps. In fact, in auton we go over the bump to the next ball just by setting the motors to a constant speed and waiting for an encoder count. I wonder if 1114's 8WD can do that...
Awesome, I always look to you guys for a slick drive train.

In Pittsburgh, 1114 went over the bump in auto mode numerous times.
