We used the clamping gearbox on both our practice bot and our competition bot without any issues. We also used the plastic WCD bearing block on the practice bot, but the metal version for competition. We have so far logged around 50 hours on the practice machine, and maybe 20 on the competition version, and have zero incidents. We have twice rebuilt our 10:1 versaplanetary box used for the elevator though; considering what we put it through that's hardly a hassle.

We have worn out three sets of orange Banebots intake wheels, and have beefed up our 3D printed parts a few times. I can't say enough how refreshing it is to not have defensive damage to deal with after each round!
