Looks good and good luck!

Yeah, we figured the 14 wheels last year was a bit... overkill for this game. The nice thing about this drive is that it is a lot lighter and more efficient with chains instead of gears.

Last year the entire drive was powered from the back of the bot, this year we centered everything and connected the center wheel directly to the gearbox using a hex shaft. The nice thing about the hex shaft is even if we should break every chain on the robot, we will still have 2 wheels working.
