Re: Section 8.3.3 Illegal Gearboxes and Chassis

I agree that a lot of folks will be kicking themselves for buying their transmissions ahead of time, but those are the risks.

As for actual designs, I have to say that one could argue decently to me that you could have a "general case solution" for an FRC robot with an arm. After all, how many arms have we seen this century? 2001, 2002 (if you had a basket on the end), 2003 (if you stacked), 2004, 2005. That's a strong indication to me that you want an arm-based robot in your repertoire.
