Agreed. The FIRST transmission should be a workhorse because it'll be the one chosen when a team cannot design their own. It must be able to take a beating.
It does not need to be the fastest or the most efficient or the most powerful, it just needs to be reliable. My hope is that FIRST and Banebots learn from this past years experiances and make that transmission more robust. I believe that last years transmissions were good, but FIRST teams tend to push things beyond their tolerances ... probably because we have been spoiled by having large safety margins on the mechanical parts supplied in the KOP and therefore didn't look at the material strength.
