Re: What are the advantages of placing gears vs waiting for them to be lifted?
A passive mechanism (pilot lift) requires a fairly large, clear path for the lift peg to pass up thru the robot. You are likely to drop the gear if the tip of the peg gets caught on something in your robot. An "active" release reduces this risk.
