Intaking Gears off the floor will be a difficult but, in my opinion, useful strategy. It would allow teams to execute this Gear ferrying strategy and pick up any Gears dropped by teams trying to place them on the Lift. I think once the level of competition rises, it'll become less helpful because the Gear scoring process will be smoother and there will be less dropped Gears. But in the wilds of the Quals rounds, it could set a team apart.
