Re: FRIST provided transmissions survey
The answer: It's complex.
You've got to figure out what the transmission supplies (in terms of weight, gear reduction, motors accepted, cost, ability to be mounted, size, reliability, potential for inspiration, etc.) and determine if that fits your desired strategy better than the other options available to you (such as ordering from AndyMark, using a design another team published, or rolling your own). The amount of weight you assign to each of those variables varies from team to team, as will the conclusions.
