We have a mill with a digital read out it's pretty useful. I think the best thing about c-c drivetrains is the fact that you don't have to mill slots for bearing blocks. However, with all of the new vex/wcp parts now pretty widely available, adding tensioning cams to the drivetrain only requires one more hole drilled in the tube. the WCP bearing blocks are huge time savers.

PREACH! The slots for a WCD are the worst part, and due to the inexperience of student machinist there are usually errors every year (except this one!) so going C-C also saves time in my opinion.
