Re: What are the advantages of placing gears vs waiting for them to be lifted?

If you are going the gear handling route, the strategic question you should be asking yourself is "What mechanism for handling gears (both retrieving and placing) is the absolute fastest?" Scoring with gears is about reducing overall cycle time. Start with the baseline concept that every other gear handling team has seen: a passive pocket which accepts a gear delivered by a HP, and then driving to the peg, letting the pilot lift it out of the pocket. Ask yourself, "How can we move twice as many gears in teleop as that baseline team?"
