: Using a mechanical system to compensate may very well be a worse idea than leaving it alone. Even if it means that you slightly increase the efficiency in one direction, you very well may lose that advantage when you consider the complexity of the mechanical system, as well as the extra friction that it introduces.

Mechanical solutions do not have to be complicated or less efficient. Right angle drivetrains with bevel gears are not the only solution either. For the last 2 years the HOT team has always spun our motors the same direction and will continue to do so. This year we are using a single stage gear reduction from the drill motors using only spur gears.

It's probably a little late this year for this type of change but stop by our pits and check out how easily this can be done. I would explain it but I don't feel I can do an adequate job without a picture. I'll work on getting a picture to post.
