We, 343, designed two systems. The first was a shifting drill motor system, the second a CIM/Drill combo that didn't shift. The combo didn't make the weight limit with our stacker so for our first regional we went with the shifting drills. Lost the quarterfinal because one of the transmissions slipped. We dropped the shifting and the stacker and went with the single speed CIM/Drill combo for Peach Tree and Nationals. At Peach Tree we tried a different track material and it changed traction all through the first day of competition, really messed up our autonomous. We made it to the finals. At nationals we went back to the original tracks, stayed with the dual drive no shift and finished top seed in Curie, won the division with 25 and 494 and went on to play in the finals.
