Did you order extras? I have been working with small teams so we have been ordering just enough + 1 spare so when both sprockets come in with notches in them, we are stuck. I will consider different sources in the future but the steel ones from Grainger get pretty heavy when the tooth count gets high. Does anyone have any suggestions for sources of better quality #25 sprockets other than AM?

It was great to see your most eleagant robot in the flesh in St. Louis and to be able to speak to some of your students. It was one of our favorites this year. I think your school is just a few km of where we used to live in TO. See you next time.
