Re: If you could Breakaway all over again...

We converted from a vac to a pincher roller at our regional. it worked well but was a few inches narrower than if it had been designed into the machine from the start.
I really wish we would have put a 254 style hanger the robot. I thought of pretty much the same thing but couldn't figure out how to power it fast enough. realizing it could have been pto powered off the drive motors was a big DOH! moment, oh well.
It's all about speed. lots of teams could score and hang, the good ones just do it really fast.
