Drill Motor Top Rear Plastic Support
 

Well, we were mounting up our drill motors today and realized that FIRST gave us 4 top middle supports and zero top back supports instead of two top middle supports and two top rear supports. Did any one else get their kit this way? It is past the extended deadline of reporting this problem so we will be machining our own equivalents out of aluminum.

If any team did not receive these specific pieces and had planned on using them, send me a PM or post here and we'll see if we can run a couple for you. We are not machining aluminum replacements for people who got plastic ones. Perhaps for a cost we could make them for anyone but the intent of this was only wanted to ask if there's anyone we could help out who is in the same position as us.

We already found a team that got the same thing you did and exchanged with them. However, Ralph Lambert of team 1094 has informed me that they are in the same position we were in (having 4 middle and no back). So, I suggest you trade with them. I e-mailed you his PM that he sent to me.

We also had 4 rear plastic supports and no middle supports.
I can do a mail to for anyone who needs to swap with us.
Thanks

I just received ours from Paul Luffel of team 1127 Lotus Robotics. Thank You!. Can anyone tell me if the top rear supports this year are different from last year? The ones I received just have a slight arc on the bottom side of the top part of it. I remember there being a squared off cutout portion last year. They still work the same though right? Thanks.

the BEST thing to do about your problem is to follow Woody's kickoff lead...do exactly as he did with the BIG revolving light-toss it! LoL, is you need some supports contact me on aim: DavidButzin im from team 66 and i HIGHLY doubt we will be using our drill hearboxes this year

Well, you can read what I think about the drills in my sig.

Re: Drill Motor Top Rear Plastic Support
 

We have four middle supports. We'd like to swap with you. We're in the Seattle, WA area. Let me know if you want to do it.

We also need some middles, I believe we have extra rear supports too, let me know if you are willing to swap...

Re: Drill Motor Top Rear Plastic Support
 

When we were mounting our drills last night, we realized the same thing - 4 rears and no middles. PM or e-mail me about a trade for 2 middles for 2 of our rears and I'll see what we can do.

hi we at team 665 also has 2 rear mounts for the drill motors. i was wondering if any team would like to swap for two center pieces. that would be great. thanks

Re: Drill Motor Top Rear Plastic Support
 

if anyone would like to trade 2 rear motor mounts for two middle pieces can u like reach us somehow. we really need the two middle parts. thanks

Re: Drill Motor Top Rear Plastic Support
 

We have 4 middle ones and need 2 rear ones. If you still have your rear ones we would be interested in an exchange. :) Our team e-mail address is team1425@wilsonvillerobotics.com for anyone who wants to exchange.

Re: Drill Motor Top Rear Plastic Support
 

We would trade. We got 4 middle and no rear mounts. If you are still interested in trading the teams e-mail is panthers1108@yahoo.com. Send us your address and any other info that we might need. Respond quickly so we can get the mounts in the mail as soon as possible.

Thanks,

Re: Drill Motor Top Rear Plastic Support
 

We got 4x top front supports, 2x top back supports, 0x top middle supports

We have last year's, though. We will trade them for your skyway wheels (just kidding! but, if you are willing to negotiate, we would like the wheels!)

Re: Drill Motor Top Rear Plastic Support
 

Has anyone had experience with these supports cracking/snapping? While replacing a drill motor from last year's bot, I noticed that the entire middle support had broken off, fairly violently, from the looks of it...

Re: Drill Motor Top Rear Plastic Support
 

I have 4 of the rear plastic support peices and need 2 of the middle.

If anyone has 4 of the middle and need 2 rear let me know.

Re: Drill Motor Top Rear Plastic Support
 

I don't know if my team took care of that or not but their e-mail is panthers1108@yahoo.com . They had me post earlier to try to solve this problem but I don't know what they have done since and I don't go home until tommorow. They did need two rear mount and could trade two middle mounts. But you would have to check.
