Ever considered taking that third and fourth position and turning it into a PTO? That wouldn't be very important in a game like 2015 whatsoever, nor a game like 2014. But, for example, in 2013, 254 used a PTO to power their awesome climber.
Another good PTO example: 1114's hanger in 2010 (which was sickly fast )
