Durability in FRC

[Justin Montois]

A few things to consider first is that most of the parts FRC teams use are rated in industry to be used much longer then they will ever see in FRC. For example ball bearings have life ratings in the millions of rotations (As long as they are used within load and speed ranges) and pneumatics are rated in miles of equivalent travel. So we don't need to change much because we are already operating well within the expected life of those parts.

Bumpers also made a huge difference in longevity.

If I had to pick one thing, i'll echo what has been brought up already and that is access access access. But we should all be designing that way whether you plan on playing 20 matches or 200.
