Re: Why the low Gear love

I have to agree with Hill. We received our McMaster spring last nigh and it is not as stiff as I thought it would be. An active mech that pushes the gear in should have no problem. A passive mech that only stets the gear at frame perimeter is very touchy. Pilots, pull smoothly. Placing any further back is risky. If a gear is dropped will doing this makes that station unusable. A team can take the penalty and move it. If they move a second dropped gear is that a yellow card? A third a red card? Gears are not easy. Balls are not easy. This is going to be a wild dynamic game.
