Bruce, I realize I got too wrapped up in my point, and was really ambiguous as to what I said applies to.
I mainly was referring to the teams that think they need all this redundancy because they break 5 sprockets a regional, or a chain snaps every other match.
You're right, fault tolerance is something that really should be designed in (and with good design, can be done pretty elegantly as many robots prove) and not ignored.
No hard feelings, this is all just some good technical discussion
