You and I have very different definitions of better. I like knowing that I can integrate an existing gearbox into our mechanism and have confidence that it will just work. It lets us spend more time designing and iterating our mechanisms instead of designing a gearbox to properly power it. This is only one example, but if we can use COTS parts, we probably will. Time is the most valuable resource during build season.
