Re: Value of a Gear Ground Pickup
Each alliance will have 21 gears available (18 from loading station + 3 from autonomous). An alliance would have to drop 10 gears before they would need the floor pickup to finish the airship.
Having seen what method many teams are using for holding gears, I don't expect alliances to drop enough gears to make sacrificing other aspects worth having the ground pickup. It will cost packaging space and build time, things that could be used to make or improve a shooter, climber, hopper, or fuel pickup. Assuming that it's faster than getting a gear from the human player, it also makes an easy target for defense while picking up a gear anywhere other than the loading station.
