For Simon: Z2 vs Prophecy basic design
Hey. I've been a big fan of the prophecy ever since it came out, and more recently the Z2 as well.
Having worked on both projects, do you feel that the software changes in the Z2 make up for its lack of magno clutch and the spring loaded drive cone?
I cant decide where I stand. I like the reduced weight and increased capacity of the Z2's simplified drive mechanism, but I like the IDEA of the adjustable clutch, and I definitely like the idea of actually being able to use the rip drive wind up the drivetrain and force feed 5 or so balls when the hopper fails or batteries run out in a game.
That said, I've never had issues with crushed paint in the Z2, and I've never had my prophecy or my Z2 go down in a field and necessitate the use of the rip drive to actually feed paint.
I'm just curious how you feel about the two designs, now that you aren't with empire you may be able to speak more freely about them.
