If you mind my asking, how much does your Digital Side Car ribbon cable weigh?

Sorry if I came across as mocking, maybe I showed have toned down my argument.

I understand that making lots of custom parts in-house can teach students a lot about working with tools, which I am super down with.

But I'm going to be insistent in saying that things like custom trannies and wheels offer only a very marginal advantage in the game, IMO.

I've tried many things in my years of building robots and this is what I have learned.
