Re: Value of a Gear Ground Pickup

At low levels gears will be dropped, but it won't be worth the time for a low level robot to attempt to pick up the gears.
At a medium level, gears will be occasionally dropped and an intake might be valuable.
At high levels gears will rarely be dropped, and might be valuable to be picked up by high level robots, but it's doubtful.

Gear pick ups might be valuable at some lower level regionals that are carried by medium-high teams, but that is the only situation I see them maybe being viable.
