This year's game does not benefit from torque...like, at all.

Just explain the purpose of this to me. Thanks.

If you decide to continue with the prototype or follow through with it, then I wish you good luck.

not so much torque, with the cims(going full on, out a toughbox) the wheels just spun and spun untill the forward momentum overtook the spinning and it went forward(about 4 seconds) we wanted to test soMething that we could just drive around and not have to worry about "easing it on" with the window motors theres' almost no slipping and nearly instant acceleration(yes we've done our math)

(Gradual acceleration turned better than pinning it)

hmm, that exactly how we had our setup...ill make sure to test it again on monday to see whats wrong(seeing as so many peoples robots could turn) i wonder what could be causing our problems?
