Go to Post If you are playing foozball and your ball bounces back out of the goal, do you expect the table's manufacturer to fix it? No - you groan and keep playing! Nothing's different here. Like Dave said, it's part of the challenge of playing the game. - petek [more]

That's true, but it sure helps....

As a former driver, based on experience with our previous years robots, the jerkiness of trying to make precise turns with a drive geared at 7-8fps (or higher) was kind of annoying. Now, I know a better designed drive (or one with less traction.....) could have helped, but that isn't all ways as easy as just bolting on a 2-speed.
