[CloakAndDagger]

I'm not share if this belongs here exactly, and if it doesn't, feel free to let me know, I'm new to chief Delphi- anyways, a few problems that we have had this year:

Generally, the robot is actually holding up pretty well this year- we only had a few problems, and only three of them actually effected our matches

-aluminum rivets on the front of our bot all suffered absolute failures, we replaced them with steel rivets and had no problems(no effect in matches, just a really bouncey electrical board)

- we burned out a CANTalon somehow, (we think that it was a lemon) and it took down our entire CANBus. Fortunately we were on the batter when it happened(we did end up missing a match while we tried to find which component actually burned out, everything still had its lights on so we had to manually test each part)

-A bearing on our climber failed, causing the climber to stop working

-Our robot uses one shaft to rotate itself above the low goal. We use a 3/4" water-hardened steel shaft to do so. We twist it. It actually twists about 60° every 12 matches, when we usually swap a new one in- but for MSC we didn't swap it out at all, and we had no problems with it

- CTRE's 18 gauge ferrels don't properly fit our 18 gauge wire, so we switched to 16 gauge ferrels and crimped them tight... Only problem is that the electronics seem to put too much pressure on them, causing them to break off inside of our Power distribution board, pneumatics control module, and voltage regulator- irreparably. (We lost radio power in a match due to that one)
