Please for the love of all that is good for your team's success....put two more CIMS on your drive train.

I along with all of your future alliance partners, second this motion.

If you have a great shooter / passer but can't get to where you need to be to score points you won't be able to play the game. If you don't have a great shooter and can't get to where you need to be to compete assists and you can't at least slow down your opponents by playing defense, you also cannot play the game. I can tell you 99% of the teams out there have you outgunned at LEAST 2:1 on driveability. Sorry to say but without more power your opponents will have more say in where your robot goes than you do.

It should only take an hour or two to add two more speed controllers, hook them to power, use a Y harness to connect their PWM inputs to your existing drive speed controllers and then bolt two more CIMs into your gearboxes on the Thursday before competition. You don't even have to program anything. If you are short parts or need some help I am sure any team at your competition will jump to help you.
