Apparently, hex/octagonal, chain-in-tube, CIM-over-center-wheel WCD is the new fad in DT Design.
Don't miss the forest for the trees here people.
This is coming from a team that rocked an octo-WCD in 2014.
Consider performing a honest and thorough weighted design table to determine if some of the innovations you are proposing actually outweigh the costs.
I would encourage all teams to practice this evaluation method in the pre-season. Just like there is no better time to learn CAD and DT Design, there's no better time to learn how to objectively evaluate designs based off a set list of requirements/criteria (trust me, this is no easy task. It is arguably harder than actually designing the mechanism!)
Beyond big-picture, love the effort being put forward. Winners are made in the off-season!
