Custom Vs. COTS Transmissions
After some pretty serious discussion recently on our team and decent arguments made back and forth, I'm even more interested in the transmission discussion between making custom transmissions or going with COTS transmissions.
If some of you wouldn't mind, I would really appreciate some insight into your thought process when making this decision. It's no secret that some elite teams (254, 118, 1625) make custom transmissions. I don't think they are simply trying to make FRC harder on themselves. There must be a significant benefit to fabricating custom transmissions.
Teams that don't make custom transmissions, why don't you?
Teams that do make custom transmissions, why do you?
I look forward to the discussion.

Since our team is in possession of the school, we have no restrictions on how late we can be there. So our teams are often practicing into the wee hours of the morning. Also, the school board uses "the breeze" for storage of high jump mats, so it's a great place to nap. :) - Karthik [more]
