Re: Never Do This, and Other Good Ideas Gone Bad
Former team #65 in 2007- Using a plastic sprocket to drive the elbow joint of an arm. At the finals in their division, I believe an opposing robot rammed into the arm, putting a lot of force on the joint. You could probably guess what happened next.

Oh, and only one plastic sprocket was made for the robot.

I didn't even know that plastic sprockets existed for anything outside of toys and Vex Robots.
