I fully support this effort. SolidWorks files would be great.

I am miffed at FIRST for allowing Banebots to put us in this situation. Banebots provided four "Banebot" motors, but no gearboxes in the KOP. Most teams don't have the design or manufacturing ability to effectively use these motors without Banebot provided gearboxes. The only thing a team can do is to order from Banebots.

Banebots is failing to meet the definition of VENDOR with regard to having product available. This happened last year as well, but not to the extent as it is this year.
