Lightbulb Drivetrain, what did you use?

I just wanted to hear what people used for their drive trains including:
Team #?
# of years of participation?
# and type of motors?
# and type of drive wheels?
# and type of non-drive wheels?
Transfer system(chains, belts, etc.)?
Transmission (not including supplied ones)?
Steering?
Sensors?
Success?
Problems?
Next year?

My response:
team 997
2nd year
2 drill motors
2 solid rubber 9"dia. 60 durometer 3" wide
2 wheel chair wheels
direct drive via shafts and gears
the supplied right angle gear box
automotive rear-wheels steering
no sensors
we busted the supplied gear box once and our steering sucked
never use automotive steering ever.
next year simple box chasis tank steering as many motors as possible and a transmission.
