I agree.
This is one of the best drive systems of all time.

254/60 - 2004
The overall best drive is the Cheesy-Bulldog, or the Bionic-Poof... whatever you call it, it's virtues speak for themselves.
-One of the fastest drives in the game.
-Nimble, turns on a dime with ease.
-Incredible traction and pushing power.
-Simple and Elegant.

I think a lot of teams will be imitating this in 2005.


Though this is my top pick, I've also got some follow ups worthy of mention:
Another cool drive system was 111-2002.
The swerve/tank combo was pretty slick. The best of both worlds.

How about 217-2002.
A swerving CCT? My goodness! Get out of the way.

Hmm... 45's shifting gearboxes.
They've revolutionized FIRST drivetrains, in no small part due to the gracious design sharing by the Technokats. The many generations of these babies have been showing up throughout FIRST for the past 6 years. (New for 2005 folks, buy your own! As seen on TV.)

Also... 45's "mean" metal treads.
First seen in 1999, these things were scary and effective.
The new "non-metal" rules of 2003 put an end to the reign of the Techno-track.


More kudos to Mr. Grady.
2 AWESOME Questions, 2 weeks running.
Rock on Andy.

John
