I know this introduces quite a few points of possible error, most notably the passing of the Gear from ferry bot to placing bot, but it might be a useful strategy for Quals when you have a bit of an underdog alliance.

I feel that most teams would be designing their gear manipulator to work with the feeder station. But, if a team did design a robot where they pick gears up from the floor, it would create an interesting dynamic. One team to get the gears, another to place them, and a third team to shoot or play defense.
