Thanks, Al.

We will probably lose the stud when we compact the layout somewhat -- right now the footprint is still too large. I agree the stud takes up valuable space and is an extra failure point.

Also, I am not sure that the stud is a COTS component. It was in an old (2003? '04?) KoP but I don't think it was custom made for FIRST. Anyway I would need to get a part number and price to show for material cost analysis if we want to use it on the robot.

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.
