sidewinder is an unknown quantity at this point
true 4 wheel

For the past 2 years our team has created independantly powered 4 wheel drive systems. In 2001 we used 2 drills and 2 fisher price, but we found that the gearboxes (plastic) kept burning teeth (although they could still run in some instances). In 2002 we used the new chipuas with the same drill syatem we had the year before. It took a while to match the chips to our drills but we got it and it worked fairly well. We never had any overheating problems because we hardly ever moved (lol stradegy always wins). We did notice however that the draw from the drills and chipuas was rather taxing on our batery. Because of this we opted for no pneumatics.

To date we have never worked on our 2002 bots drive train, and only a few post competition events have we had to change our our 2001 bot's gearboxes and one fisher price we burned out (the sleeve on the motor came back and covered the eexaust holes in the back and well lets just say the magic smoke came out).
