Re: Never Do This, and Other Good Ideas Gone Bad

Based on my years on Aces High (FRC176) and Division by Zero (FRC229) heres my list of things to avoid in season:

Never Agains:
1. Sissor Lifts
2. Tank Treads
3. Vaccuum Devices

Avoid at nearly all costs:
4. Cast Iron Worm Gears
5. Gravity Fed Hoppers
6. Gravity Dependent Lifts/Arms

And until done completely and perfected in an "offseason"
7. Crab Drive/4 Wheel Steering/Holonomic Drive
