Granted, for the first couple of iterations of the design, the COTS option would likely perform better, but it's not about the goal, it's about the journey.
During the season, the Vexpro option would be my top choice, but since this is an offseason project, I would fully recommend working on your own.
FIRST is again mirroring real life. And in real life, when we build and design robotic and automated systems, it's safety first. Hitting a human in real life loses a lot more than 30 points.
