How is a post a troll post if it links to a discussion on the same topic, including testimonies from Adam and Tyler, who not only are some of the most Respected mentors I know, but also some of the smartest.
If ANYTHING, it adds to the discussion by bringing relevant info from another thread.
And to be really honest, he linked you to a thread that you COULD have found if you searched.

The implication I took from the troll post was "don't worry about design and copy what 2056 does."

Seriously?
There is a reason Mike Corsetto says "Steal from the best, invent the rest" in every post asking why 1678 is so good.
No one is trying to tell you to copy 2056. But, from experience and the obvious testimony in this thread, designing a custom wheel IS NOT the best use of time, resources, or knowledge. You'll find much better use of time and I think students would find a better experience designing a different custom mechanism, like maybe an elevator, a more complicated drive train(that uses COTS, most drives SHOULD), or something that is a bit more complicated than something I can make in about 3 clicks in CAD.
