This year we lost a chain to one of our shooter wheels in Quarterfinals 1 match 1 at West Michigan, due to the cotter pin on the half link pin breaking.

Back in the pits we found a spare pin but no cotter pins or steel wire to replace it with. We ended up using the pin wire from a button to make the quick fix in time to make it out for or next match.

I also remember replacing an aluminum drive shaft from a drill transmission with a 3/8" bolt we cut down, in 2004.
