Our team lacks a lot of manpower and doesn't have a lot of access to good machining tools, so it was just more of a design idea. That being said, if the game this season fits this style of drivetrain well, we might revise it and attempt to build one.

I think the weight could be cut down quite a bit from some sort of lightning hole pattern, I just wasn't motivated to CAD model such a thing!
