Hey Raul,

I think they are creating more parts, like the SPI wheel kit and drill axle adapter, to help teams get up and running sooner. Possible ideas could be a new gearbox that eliminates part or all of the drill motor assembly. Combine a bolt-on gearbox with a Bosch extrusion kit and most teams could be up and running in a few hours.

My impression is that the kit will be focused on helping the teams get over the initial hurdle of building a running chassis. Its usefullness to the veteran teams may be limited, just like the wheel kit and drill axle adapters have been.

Another way they might help teams is by using the new Isaac16 robot controller. The modem is inside the controller box so there are less components to wire.

Of course, none of this would be any match for the amazing designs that Wildstang presents every year. Is there life after perfecting the "swerve"?
