[EWCP]-11-27-11 Drivetrain Design

[Andy Baker]

Many of us have learned tons from Dr. Joe over the years, and it is very exciting to see him back as an FRC mentor. Having him on this cast as a guest is outstanding. I would like to hear his answers to these things:

1. What was the design process for (arguably) the best FRC robot ever, ChiefDelphi's 2000 robot?
2. Why did ChiefDelphi choose to design (arguably) the most complex, convoluted drive train in 2001?

I'll have my popcorn ready, listening for "what to do" and "what not to do".
