This would force us to think about arms and manipulators, instead of drivetrains. If I was on the GDC and wanted to move FRC further in the direction of robotics (and away from RC cart design), this is one idea I might try.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
