3) Inventories need to be increased. I'll forgive the omni and mecanum shortage this year, but gears and sprockets are going to be used every year, and shouldn't go out of stock. This may clash with comment 1, but I'd like to see an attempt at both.

I imagine at least some supply issues were because of the labor disputes on the
West Coast ports that gridlocked everyone's supply chain. Tying up cash in a large inventory for unlikely events like that is probably mutually exclusive with cheaper goodies.

What separates this from the existing Versaplanetaries? Buy a bunch of stages and mix and match to your heart's content.
