Besides agreeing with all of your other comments I would just like to add one thing if your going to have a Good Drive train its not just the Quality of the drive train. Its the quality and know how of who works on it. We all had some part in working on the drive train on fluffy but their were a few special people on our team who know those gear boxes like the back of their hand every, screw, every gear, every sound that those drive trains make they knew them. And in our case Fluffy our robot well it was very strong and robust but at both regional and nationals we had a few problems with the drive train. Those few select people I was referring to well they put their blood sweat and tears into to those drive trains. They rebuilt our drive train in under 3 hours changed treads in 5 min, and as a freshman last year I worked with many of these people and though they don’t brag and probably don’t even think about it but I hope that they realize they are really what brings our team and Robot together under pressure. That in my view is the most important part of any good drive train. And that is the only other thing besides design that really makes a drive train come together.
