Iteration isn't always about saving weight, even on a drive base. In my four years with 254, we never used the same drivetrain twice. In 2012, we attached pistons and small levers to help push us over the bump. In 2013, we developed a PTO in the gearbox to climb the pyramid. In 2014, we had to make the gearbox have a low profile so the balls could fit inside the robot.

I want to actually look around in the Math section in LabVIEW and know what an "arc tangent" is.

Personally, I would want to know what quintic hermite spline interpolation is, but I always liked polynomials more than trigonometry.

Enough with this 6WD 8WD is on some special piece of carpet. I hope I never win champs with the same old boring robot as 2K other teams. It better be the coolest most difficult, fun to talk about and look at and think about and know that it was hard and I learned something.

As a developer of a boring robot, I feel so awful about winning the championship, because our robot was so boring and uninspiring to watch.
