Re: Andymark rhino drivetrain discussion

Frustrated at the whole "out of stock by the end of the first weekend" trope rearing its head again with FRC suppliers.

Look, I know it's difficult. It's a small market and it's hard to predict demand, etc. But this can't be the best that can be done. It's hard/impossible to teach good engineering practice when you're forced to rush to make your drive choice in the first day lest you not be able to purchase the parts you need until halfway through build season.
