Um, "GP" has nothing to do with it, if a team wants to put in the work to build an entirely new arm and bring it in that is up to them.

To quote that one guy (JVN) "design is an iterative process" and continuous improvement is the name of the game for people who are working towards Einstein.

So if you build an arm that turns out so-so, and have the possibility available to build a new one, or improvements to the old one, and you don't do it, thats your loss in competitive edge.

Nothing to do with "GP"
