We did M3 and M5 almost exclusively for a couple of years, and were well on the way to getting rid of most of the remaining Imperial stuff. Then mentor turnover and some well-meaning but uninformed shopping ended up with a large collection of 1/4-20 and other assorted hardware. We haven't quite hit the other end of the pendulum swing yet, but I have some hope that those in charge of design will soon figure out that the large number of different tools required to maintain the 'bot the past few years is something to avoid.
