I thought you guys might be interested in seeing this.
Some GoPro footage from our latest drive practice/testing session.

I think there are some potential applications for problem diagnostics using a GoPro, as it is now easy to see that the left gearbox is looser than the right, and may be the cause of some of the drift on the robot.
After some more driving and fun, we are still thoroughly pleased with this drivetrains performance.
Do any teams use a support between the gearboxes on a WCD?
It could be anything from an Andymark Churro, to a piece of versaframe, But I am wondering if any other teams have had issues or designs in the past that they would be willing to share.
From what I have seen, It is not common practice. Are there any specific reasons behind it?
