On full field runs, our gear ratio worked as we wanted it to. To go along with all of this, we had a control scheme (known as Cheesy Drive) that allowed us to control the robot remarkably well at high speed. Our problem was misreading the game slightly, where full field runs weren't as necessary as we thought they may be. Knowing what we know now, we wouldn't have shot for such a high speed.

What is this cheesy drive you speak of?
