Doing the white-paper will help document the pros and cons for your team as well as help others attempting similar ideas in the future. It is also good practice for documenting your designs in clean concise manner to help present to judges at competition.

This is a good idea. We ran into a lot of weird design and logistics problems when making this design. For instance... I drove all around the Dallas metroplex looking for a 7/8 drill bit and brackets... And then as it turns out the drill bit I found was had the wrong shaft shape and it kept stalling in the drill press...
Thanks for the idea. I'll type it up this week.
