Fixing a faulty drive, yes. that requires thought, time, work, and substancial effort, and substancial creativity (even if u do copy a bit).



Copying a design exactly .................................. creative?



And all teams use tape measures the same way and it is incredibly easy to use with very little code, so don;t fight for it being an "innovation." Ya tape the tape measure to the bot and throw on a keyang with a ruber wheel to push it, and program a joystick button to give it power when u want. Uses, one relay, one joystick (already in use) 4 bolts (maybee) one tape measure, one keyang, one line of code, one rubber wheel.

And for the wheels, I do support their use becasue we are given wheels to begin with and they are hard to machine for rookie teams especially, but if u have the tools theres nothing like a c&ced wheel with timing belt on it.
