Re: A New Drivetrain

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...
