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.
But does that really give a reason to tear an idea apart even if it were to be used for a competition purpose or personal project.


And thanks M. Mellott i will take you up on that offer sometime
