No orange belt???
I can't believe I'm seeing a Tigertron bot with no orange belting. Is it hidden or have you really taken a new direction? Maybe your belting doesn't work as well with bins.
Nice looking bot though.

Aluminum is just fine
We've used aluminum sprockets for the last couple years (manufactured on our shop's CNC). We've had no problems and saved (literally) pounds of weight vs. steel.

Drill Gearbox Gear Size?
From what I've read, the drill pinion is a 0.7 module (which means it's metric?). Does anyone have any information on the gears (suns, planets, rings) inside the gearbox? Is it a safe assumption...

What about next year's bot?
What are you talking about mechanical teams being done? Isn't anyone else jotting down drivetrain design improvements for next year's bot? I've got some drawings already!
