CIM-Sim with RS550
Today we powered up our shooter, which is powered with a CIM-Sim attached to 2 rs550's. Because the shaft is not knurled, we used red loctite to hold the pinions on the motor shaft, which was suggested here a few weeks ago. Problem is we shot about 5 balls and then one of the pinions flew right off the motor. Does anyone have any ideas on what to do to solve this issue, or what other teams have done?
