It would seem that way, if one didn't know about all the fancy things our drive base will do. Trust me, it needs that much headroom in drive power.

You've made it abundantly clear what your drive could do elsewhere, I still stand by my statement that your drive is "overpowered", as in, using far more power (regardless of how it's used) than required to be competitive. I also still think the conveyors are underpowered (they may move, but slow I imagine).

You can use up to the number of window motors that came in the 2009 kit and no more. Specifically that would be 2 Nippon-Denso motors (1 Right-hand and 1 left-hand) and 1 Keyang motor.

Re: How many motors are you using on this years robot?

Wow, I'm getting the impression that my team's robot is overly simple:

2 CIMs for drive
1 CIM for conveyor belt
1 globe for the dumper.

Well, I guess its just fewer things that can go wrong...
