Interesting take and has not been broached on this thread. I also have to wonder if a lot of the traditional design work has been published on here many times over. Used to see a lot of shifting transmissions and (NBD) DeWalt was breakthrough but now you can purchase several flavors from AndyMark.biz & Trossen Robotics & BaneBot. Add that to IFI, AndyMark, and even FRC teams selling kit chassis material and designs along with the latest craze of swerve-drive units.

I am for all of the above. My post asks the following: What are the veteran teams with design and machining support cooking up in their shops this off-season? Provided they aren't a beta test team.
