Just playing devil's advocate here

I didn't realize how incredible of a design/strategy this is at first. You guys will have some of the most practiced drivers out there, which should do far more for you than any gear ground pickup, actuated peg drop, or moving gear placer that have been touted as "completely necessary" for a gear placing strategy here on CD. And... you skipped the fuel completely, which means (assuming better alliances will be able to get all 4 rotors going) you will likely be playing a little defense come eliminations, but your drivers will be up for the job.
