Re: What are the advantages of placing gears vs waiting for them to be lifted?

If you need PILOT action (activate the lift) to remove the gear from the Robot, then your robot has to sit around waiting for the PILOT. This requires careful timing during Autonomus. What happens if all 3 robots require the PILOT to remove the gear?

The alternative is some type of mechanism to disengage the gear from the robot. It makes the device more complex.

In general, the more you Robot can do, the better off you are.
