Beautiful machine! Very well thought out.

Are those 775's in your drive train? No cims? Looks like they work well!

Yes they are. 8 775's pros each with their own Versaplanetary on the drive train. We also used Vex's new integrated encoders along with the talon SRXs and it works fine.
We thought we could have problems with them burning out, but after heavy testing, there is now way of that ever happening in a 2:30 match

What kind of reduction are you having to use for the 775s?

25:1 with 2 stages, and we bring it up to 36:1 with the chains. That way it runs at a similar torque/speed you'd get from CIMs, but we got 8 of them
