Okay cool. I didn't think it would, but any question is worth asking. Especially with a train like this, it seems like a really well thought out idea, and I'd hate to see an unforeseen problem arise from this! Especially after this year, our team had a lot more unforeseen problems than in the past. We've solved these problems on the robot and in our building process, but it's still a really sad thing to see when you think you're gonna do good and something nobody expects shuts you down.
