Look at what COTs have done for the normal team:

- They can drive
- They aren't locked into whatever gear ratio they happened to guess when they initially made a gearbox (IF they could make one and didn't have to hack together some drill gearbox)
- Costs have come way down
- Innovations from top teams are actually available to them (shifting transmissions were a black art before AM, god help you about swerve drives)


What has COTS really done for teams like 118, 254, and 67? What do they have available that they couldn't have done before? (If someone from those teams could chime in here that'd be GREAT)
It's given them a much larger selection of great alliance partners.
