Overlubricating is also very bad in VersaPlanetaries. Last spring when I was working on some miniature robots for a non-FRC project, my group had to assemble 15 identical VersaPlanetaries and the the ones that have given us the most trouble are the ones that were overlubricated initially.
I'd second the advice elsewhere in this thread: make sure you don't have too much lubrication, and make sure everything is properly aligned. Given those two things, I've never had an issue with a VersaPlanetary (other than losing a few of the motor adapters
).
