Thanks Aaron for bringing up some good points. A demo like this definitely tests your robot's robustness. We did see some wear on our drive gears and we broke our first two belts of the season. We had some shaft collars come loose but no other major damage. Batteries are always an issue when doing day long demos but when we bring a lot of batteries and have a place to charge them we can go for 5 or 6 hours if needed.
This demo was also a great time to train other drivers and learn from other teams. We had people form different teams driving each others robots and we got to see a lot of the little details that go into these robots.
