Nice frame and drivetrain. I like how the electronics are easily accessible.

That looks like a lot of motors using CAN. I hope you've tested it or had success with CAN in a past season. There were lots of discussions last season about CAN problems. We had issues running 6 motors on CAN last year. In our testing it looked like there was too much communication on the CAN bus. We took the drive motors off CAN and made it so we didn't send messages to the two motors we left on CAN as much. Our issues may have been caused by using serial instead of 2CAN. We're waiting for teams to have glowing reviews of CAN this season (or a future season) before going back.
