If you have taken Dr. Joe's advice by producting a replacement drill gearbox output shaft as described in 'Dr. Joes Drill Advice' step # 5 and as seen in the drawing 'Dr. Joes Drill Shaft' (in the lower right hand corner) be warned!

The drawing is missing a critical cut at the aft end of the shaft, in the middle of the 4 pins. If you are using this technique in your robot's drive system be cautious. A ~
