We had a chance to take the drivetrain for a spin last night. We rang out the encoders and gyro, and all seems to be in good shape.

Our driver for the upcoming 2013-2014 season had his first crack at driving it around, and the initial feedback is very positive.

Looks solid. Something I noticed is your CG is between your back two wheels, so all of your turns spin around that back point, negating one of the useful effects of the 8wd and also preventing you from turning in place with almost no displacement of the robot.
