Really we're hoping to end up in a feeder/shooter alliance setup and avoid crossing the barrier as much as possible for all teams involved.

I think that all teams will avoid crossing the barrier as much as possible -- but really great teams will be able to cross it as necessary.
We're going octocanum this year, but have something in place to keep the shock of the barrier off of the drive train.
