Re: Breaking gears in PG77

Thanks for the suggestions. I like the idea of a lead-screw or belt drive that skips. That should solve or help the gear shattering problem. I would totally go with a VEX PG motor, but they are out of stock until May (a little late for what we need). I'd definitely consider pnuematics too but we would have to add a whole pnuematic system to the BOT and it is a little late for that. Good thoughts for next year.
