Notes:
potential for drivetrain fix for next URC
adding rotating wheels for better on the spot turning
carbon fiber and weight reduction
potential for welding where applicable
making drivetrain an enclosure instead of a platform
CRC
focus on getting current rover ready with current design
fix current issues
Drivetrain is main focus
science
