Seeing as another competition season comes to a close i was wondering some custom unique parts your team made?
This year we redesigned our custom 3D printed bearing blocks for our chassis as well and out chassis spacers. The spacers helped stop the C-channel from getting pinched if people over tightened the bolts, while not taking up a lot of weight .(PLA adds up quick in weight.)
The two big items that helped this year were the custom Talon Towers and lead screw spacers designed like shaft collars. The spacers were two halves that tighten together and make the lead screw not able to go to the very bottom and lose balls as well as dampen the blow if driven fast.

The talon tower was a design taught up by our CADer after we wanted to consolidate room, it stacks 2 talons on top of each other and puts two more back to back. That makes 4 talons stacked up back to back with ease to wire and confined to a small space, with one on each side we had more then enough space for the talons.
