Re: pic: The worst of the stripped VexPro gears
Once I get the pictures, I can show you what happened to our 3 cim ss Vex pro gearboxes. For the 8 inch wheels, we used the 60:14 gear kit. This was to keep everything in just two stages.

During the Hartford District event one of the 14t gears in our drivetrain completely broke. All that is left are 3 teeth and two halves of the gear.
then during Champs, both sides broke in the same match. Luckily, it was our last match of the day and had plenty of time to fix it. We replaced the 14t gears with steel variants (a mix of Andymark and VP) and so far so good.

Then you remember that this game is rougher than aerial assault.
