Re: FRC T-bone-ing and Hexagonal drive
Sure, there are exceptions, but I don't think Ty's assertion is incorrect. You're generally not going to win an event because you have a stellar drive train alone. A bad drivetrain can certainly lose you an event, but a good one isn't going to win without a functioning manipulator, drive team, and strategy.
Bumper profiles and bumper fabrics are things that are important for the 90th percentile teams trying to become the 95th or 99th percentile teams. They are far less important for the 50th percentile team. Rather than spending time, money, and manpower into researching bumper shape/material, it's probably better to invest that into, say, intake shape/material.
