Re: White Paper Discuss: Team 670 - Universal Drive Systems: Design and Analysis
It all boils down do what do you view as bringing the most success to the team. Placing well in competition, or learning a little something extra and maybe not placing so well.
Reuse a drivetrain, time for practice/programming, place better in competition.
Build a new drivetrain, not as much time for practice/programming, don't place so well in competition.
Which is more beneficial to the students' enrichment? Driving practice and programming or drivetrain design/innovation?
There are no definite answers to these questions. It is up to each team's set of values to determine.
