Re: Physics of T-boning

Are there any gearbox/drive train innefficiencies that arise out of a T-bone? For example, the bearings are designed to deal with a radial load and R-rated bearings have very nice efficiency when doing so. When under lateral load, what does that efficiency decrease to, and how does that affect a robot's ability to get out of a T-bone pin?

It may be a factor in why 33 was hard to pin.
