Re: WCP Power Take Off

With the vast array and unrestricted quantities of high power motors now available in FRC, I'm struggling to imagine cases where PTOs are still the best option. Back when there were far fewer high powered motors and their quantities were limited, it made sense for your drivetrain CIMs to pull double duty. In 2016, teams had access to up to 6 CIMs and there were no rules restrictions placed on the quantity of 775 Pros or MiniCIMs used, so needing to hunt for that additional mechanism power from your drivetrain seems far less rewarding.
