Quietly someone somewhere is screaming "NOOOOOOOOOOOO" as the next potential iteration of Nonadrive has now been leaked
In all seriousness, from what I can piece together this seems somewhat practical. I'm having difficulty piecing it all together, thus perhaps I can offer a holistic analysis. I would look at the weight and manufacturing issues from a tradeoff perspective:
- Is the extra 20-25lbs of drive train worth the extra mobility / immobility for the game? This isn't a straightforward question every year.
- Is the extra manufacturing needed for this concept much more involved than manufacturing of other drive trains that have similar mobility?
- What concepts of this idea could be appiled to other drive trains to enhance their designs?
- What aspects of the complex manufacturing can be re-engineered to produce other modified COTS products (e.g. de-coupling 2 CIMs within a toughbox)
- I'm sure there are many more...
