Again, COTS Parts are great. I was more opinionated to the more frc-specific stuff, like prebuilt ball grabbers and such.

I don't particulary appreciate the way you attempt to make me seem like a crusty old grumpy man... I'm actually not much older than my students. I also don't want or expect them to design individual gears and sprockets and gearboxes and chains, etc etc. Cut me some slack here.

What's wrong with crusty old grumpy men?!?!?! I'd be out a job without them...

I did say that was how *I* read your post, not how you meant it. Funny thing about meaning (and much like my sarcasm), it's not always conveyed in the way we wish it to be.

I'm all for more pre-made assemblies and more robots in 3 days! Bring it on!
