Re: AndyMark Parts Feedback 2015

We ran a raw box this year with a custom output shaft--no complaints, worked through every competition. 2 CIMs through VP's were input into the transmission.

We stripped the worm and worm gear on our practice robot's gearbox at one point, but we believe we assembled that one wrong and we were lifting 8 totes with a >5 ft lever arm with a 6:1 reduction against the gearbox (stress testing). So, the load rating seems pretty accurate.

We would certainly use it again.
