I agree with your overall sentiment, just not in the case of a crab drive.

Sorry I didn't mean that to specifically apply to crab, but more generally to the concept of always considering a change of your drive for the game. Crab is intensive and unless you can get one working preseason most teams shouldn't try it for competition. This is not to say don't try it, everyone will learn from this kind of project. "Stretch goals" right?
Although I don't know 2338's situation, sometimes challenging yourself can be a catalyst for your team. I'd say by most metrics that for us(1817) to do crab this past year would have been in the "bad use of resources" category, but the level of complexity and dedication required plus the "cool" factor has gotten us more mentors, money, and attention.
