Opinion Poll: Proliferation of Prefbricated Parts

[Andy A.]

I'm ambivalent about it. On one hand I like that more teams get more access to more capable mechanisms for less effort, time and money. That's all great. On the other hand it's lead to what I've started jokingly calling the 'hex shaft mono-culture'. Lord knows 95 has reaped the benefits of that as much as any team, and I'm not convinced there's really anything wrong with it so long as no aspect of it is obligatory (you don't have to buy gearboxes, after all).
