If you can change it to a best practices type layout, this would be better,
and less confusing to the consultant that has to work on it ;-)

No, same robot, same drive type, everything the same.
It just doesn't seem right to me, even if it does
work. From an administrative point of view, perhaps I
can understand why they did it, but in "Best Practice",
this just doesn't meet the standards in my book.
