Tractor Leaders Cykotic - Matt Creswick & Stacy Grove The major rule changes for the 2005-2006 year was allowing multiple engines, CVT’s, only two weight classes, and moving the contest to Illinois. The biggest hurdle for the team was to decide which configuration to take to completion. The multiple engines really opened up the possibilities for different designs. Other hurdles were along the way were raise funding, completing testing, and getting the design report finished on time.
