Re: What will be the next technical growth leap for the average team?

I'm going to be honest - the Versaplanetary.

When designing a mechanism it is really nice to be able to say "hmm, I'm going to need a reduction of between 3:1 and 100:1 and I'll put a Bag motor in there but maybe eventually I'll swap in a 775Pro if I need a little extra power" and just put the same hole pattern in and be done.

I think a huge leap over the last 5 years was the relaxation of pneumatics rules. Letting teams use air for more things and not limiting them to 4 small tanks has changed how teams design. Ok, maybe I've just been talking to Foss too much.
