Luckily they caught it before they arrived at the regional...and dont have to scavange for parts to rig up a (award winning ) coaxial drive system.

Actually, I'm not certain they think being geared for 24 ft/s is a problem. I suspect it will become more apparent as they add weight to the robot. Luckily, low gear will put them right around 10-11 where things are a little saner.
