Re: New Ideas for next year's competition
Really, I don't think there's a way (short of the mecanum wheels that are starting to be seen) to reinvent the FIRST drivetrain wheel. The only way to get folks to come up with a radically different drivetrain would be to radically change how they're required to move--monkey bars, anyone?

To go a step further, to be "steam punk", electrics would need to be powered from a steam turbine operated dynamo but electric wiring would still be required to follow all rules as they would apply. - Al Skierkiewicz [more]
