Re: Opinion Poll: Proliferation of Prefbricated Parts

In developing new products, I simply hope that suppliers do not encourage sacrificing resiliency in problem solving for convenience in executing a solution. Students who are taught that mindset are terrible Engineers, expecting where to be told a solution and the complaining when it doesn't "just work by pressing the button". "Business is Business" is a cop-out when it goes that far.

With that said, there are only a couple of current products available from the 5 main FRC suppliers that seem (IMO) to provide a direct and nearly complete solution rather than encourage finding and adapting a solution. The rest of them encourage us to try, try again, and eventually succeed
