I would have never speculated that a "zero-scrub" drive would perform like it did, but with Connor on the sticks the thing performed great, and provide benefits that would not have been present in another system.

Do you have a video link showing the awesomeness?

Spoiler for lack of self control.:

John, you don't want no scrub? Scrub from a chassis don't get no love from you? Hanging out field side, watching Wrangler drive, explaining CoF to me.

Awesomeness is subjective. We like it.
Any match video from 2011 would somewhat show it. In the teaser video you can see some of the drift moves, and you can see Connor kind of whip the robot around a few times (he backs into the rack, then spins the front around to score).

I had to google it...
