It usually takes them quite a while to get back to learning, but once they do, look out, that is where the real creativity begins!

BTW, great learning platform! Well done!

Nope, Dave never says anything to help us... he is a man of honor (unfortunately for us, or is that fortunately?). And Mike, the reason the team didn't improve on your design/work/effort, is that it would take them a year or two to do that well! Plus, it is more fun to play with it, than build another... at least for me.

Control system aside, I'm curious how the drills work for moving a base of that size. While it's not likely to be legal for FRC, there are times where we just don't have the parts to build a base for prototyping or other needs. (We always seem to have all of our CIMs tied up on past robots.)

The 2004 Bosch drill motors were more powerful than the CIM's, so they should do just fine provided you use an appropriate reduction.
