Re: reusing drive design

This year we basically used last years design with some modifications. We added the larger CIM motor to the FIRST gear box and changed the size of the middle wheels. Anyhoo, trying to have one drive train for every year is hard. HOT BOT 67 was one of those teams. All of my years in FIRST they have started up right then fell over. This year the rules say you can't fall over, so they had to have a new design. This may not be the reason they changed there design, but its one of the reasons I think. (anybody from team 67 can correct me on this) Finally, If the specs for your drive train from past years will benefit you, then use it. Unless there were motors that aren't in the kit anymore, thats when it get interesting.
