We want to try something that isn't well documented as part of our offseason. Colson's work very well, and are proven. Has anyone tried a drivetrain from Banebots? Noone we know of
1274 had a drivetrain that incorporated BaneBots this year at Buckeye (I think it was them...), although they had the smallest robot I've ever seen. Couldn't see it up close to check the wear, however I'd expect that their results might not be the same as your results because there wasn't that much force from friction coming from the weight of their robot. Not sure how they would do in a pushing match either, as they literally just bounced back when hit.

I would try to get in touch with someone on their team, if possible.
