Re: CIM-U-LATORS
I dunno Adam, you're screaming a knowledge paradox. It takes a lot of time to learn something new if you have no prior knowledge. It's very disheartening to try to learn it, produce something from what's learned, and have the product fail in use regardless of the effort put in. Lessons may be learned in the process, but those future lessons sure aren't helping anyone now.
On the other hand, after weening ourselves off of always-COTS options for gearboxes, I will say that the lessons are invaluable to the future of the team. Yet it's easy for me to say that because I have essentially had 6 tries to get things right as a mentor whereas many students only have 2-3 (or in the case of most rookies, less than 1 -- at which point mentor recruitment is critical, but not always possible).
