Two responses to the point that FIRST's culture is a "make our own design decisions" culture:

1. Many teams used Rhino tracks (a WHOLE drive system! ) and copied Ri3D this year (as well as in past years).

2. Our team doesn't have that culture, but we might be statistical outliers. We follow Golden Robot Rule #3: Steal from the best, invent the rest.

Best,
