There have been a few responses that have been made with the honest intentions of help, and there are others who insist on thoughts based entirely on FIRST competition environments. This is a little news flash for some of you there are robots built outside of the little FIRST robotics bubble. I hate to see the witch hunt against free thinkers continue on this little ragtag forum, but it seems that there isn't a genuine desire to think differently

If you come to a forum devoted to the FRC competition, and ask for help, people are going to assume it's for the FRC competition. People will then post the best advice they have. This is what happened, you can't blame the people that replied for it. If the original post had said, "Hey, we're just having fun here, this isn't for FRC, help me out with this tank drive", people would not have offered him the good advice for FRC, they would have offered him a different set of good advice for just getting his tracks working.
If I go and post in a forum for battlebots about making a drivetrain and not say it's for FRC, and then get mad when people suggest many things that are contradictory to a FRC drivetrain or not helpful, I really can't get mad at them for that.
