Re: VEXPro 2014: After The Season
WCP 3CIM SS Gearbox:
Almost a great product, but unlike AndyMark gearboxes it did not ship with loctited bolts to hold the CIMs on, and the access to the bolts holding on the bottom two CIMs was terrible (unless you took the gearbox apart, but that wasn't feasible on our robot). Combination of these two factors meant that we had a couple of bolts walk out, hindering our drive for a couple matches and forcing us to spend an ungodly amount of time trying to get the bolt back in place (we ultimately had to cut the end off of an allen wrench specifically to service the gearboxes).
I realize part of this was user error, but it's something that could be improved, regardless.
