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

The three biggest advances in the last six years or so are:
  1. COTS frame and gusset options that allow significant customization
  2. COTS gearboxes that are compact, reliable and provide many options
  3. The smaller and more robust control system elements, including the RoboRio and motor controllers

Swerve-in-a-box for less than $100/module, requiring nothing other than attachment to standard VF to make a drivebase, would change mobility. I think that's coming.
