Talking Kit Improvements

You make a lot of valid points regarding the kit. Something to get the hands dirty and feet wet on putting this stuff together.

However, it is time consuming and detracts a little from learning the basic principles. A team will have to make the time to get together and work with this in the pre-season.

It's also a bit expensive for classroom usage, which is the direction we want to take next year in getting the students warmed up for the season.

However, it makes for a great way to get into pre-season competition.

Btw, the kit does not use gears, but relies on sprockets and chains. I find that interesting. No pneumatics either.
