Re: Be afraid... Be VERY Afraid

Hey there,

I see that this idea/module was pretty much completely picked apart and shown to be a horrible idea so I won't bother with telling you any of that. Hopefully, you’re not too disappointed that the module/idea that you probably spent a long time designing isn't as great as you thought it was.

I just wanted to take a second to encourage you to continue thinking, inventing, and innovating. The people on this forum just want your team to be successful. Posting your designs on the forum is a gutsy move as any new design will be dismembered by many smart people. It is also one of the best things you can do as you get free constructive criticism from a bunch of smart people that have collective experience beyond what you could ever hope to gather by yourself.

Anyways, I hope you can take this away as a positive experience. If you hadn't posted on here and instead just went ahead and built your drivetrain for the 2013 season you would almost certainly be fighting your design the entire season and had a not-fun-at-all experience as a result.

Good Luck in your 2013 season and your future design endeavors.

Kind Regards, Bryan
