Re: Biggest Challenge of '05

Well, more than simply giving the newbies simply a bolt together chassis, a 4 motor drive train transimission is included, reducing the advantage other teams have gained by using 4 and 6 motor drive trains in previous competitions. This helps FIRST two fold. It reduces the time intensive requirements rookie teams have had in the past developing a drive base for the first time, allowing for greater innovation and creativity for rookie teams. Additionally, it poses a greater challenge to veteran teams, inspiring kids to think up new ways to perform better, because even rookies will have powerful 4 motor drive train transmissions. But yes, the chassis and drive train components this year available to the rookie teams will certainly prove to be a challenge for vets.
