All of these reasons are valid to a certain level... some more than others. The biggest argument I have is with #3. Teams automatically think that they have to meet the tolerances signified in these prints, but in actuality they don't. In order to get one of these things built, you get the parts made as accurrately as you can, then you tweak the parts (file, shim, whatever) to get the assembly to run w/o too much wobble.
Even so... I predict that only 5% of teams will use this design on their robot.
Still... even IF all teams used this design... it would be a good thing, in my opinion. The main reason why we published this design is simple:
This will increase the level of competitiveness of FIRST robots.
