Based on what the team learned during prototype testing in summer of 2008, and subsequent drive-train analysis, a Provisional 6wd drive-train and chassis was designed during the Fall with the expectation of using this for DEWBOT V. A great deal of thought and analysis went into this design (as the urgencies of build season were absent). In the end, this design was not built owing to the unique attributes of FRC's Lunacy competition. The effort was not wasted, however, as the thought processes and analyses employed in this design were swiftly put to good use in designing [[DEWBOT V}}'s chassis and drive-train. Many of the design features described here found a home in DEWBOT V.
