There are many white papers and workshops at most kickoff's. Moreover, many veteran teams would be glad to help you put together a solid drive train. FIRST saw many teams had poor drive trains and created a kit-bot which could be assembled easily. The AndyMark gearboxes are also quite solid and many veteran teams use it. This sort of levels the playing field and makes it very easy for teams to at least make a working drive train.
