AndyMark CIMple Box Stripped Out
So earlier today we were demoing our robot when it started making a nasty grind, and suddenly our CIMple box on our right side drivetrain locked up. This seems totally bizarre seeing as how both the CIM gear and the output gear are made of steel. Has anyone ever had a problem like this with a CIMple box? We're a little unsure whether it's going to wind up being a stripped cim or output gear, which basically will determine what we need to disassemble and replace. Has anyone had any similar experiences?
