The problem with our drive train was that the drills were mounted to absorb any forces from stopping too quickly with the drill brakes engaged. This turned into a problem when the mount was actually twisting the motors out of position, and dismounting the transmission. That is why we ended three matches with our drill tranys laying dead on the field. We fixed this, in quite a hurry I might add, by making the mounts rigid, now it works like a dream, and faster too!!!

It was a little hard to see it through the boxes, but we had a little too much speed. The bot actually got some air off of the ramp during autonomous mode and flew through the boxes!

And if anyone was wondering why our bot was cutting out during elimination rounds, it was because we had all four drive motors and the compressor running (voltage at sometimes was down to 6v). Anyone have the stats on how many amps the compressor draws so we can fix this problem?
