motor mounts

I understand that another Richmond, VA team (Tucker High ) tore up some mounts in practice. Someone else said they'd dropped one and it broke! As for us, we're being very careful not to overrtighten and are currently using rubber/soft plastic shims to take up the slack where the actual motor is held.

I do have one motor (drill gearbox) wobbling and need to determine if it is the aluminum adapter or the plastic hex adapter or a warped/misaligned mount. This is another common problem, I've heard.
