Quoted for truth. I hear they actually cut all their own gears, because it's cheaper and faster for them to make it out of round stock, in house than it is for them to buy and wait a few days for shipping.

I'd also check out 368's swerve, especially their driver setup. They played really well at SVR, and were the first swerve I've ever seen where the swerving actually improved their gameplay, rather than just being a cool way to move around the field.
