I agree. if you have time, I would work on training your driver to protect that "skewer" from impact. This will both save you from potential penalties, and potential damage to your robot.

I would also be preparing spares for this, and figuring out what the easiest way to replace one of these was, in case it got bent beyond the ability to be screwed out.

on an unrelated note: nice programming! what are you using for feedback?

good luck!
