The voltage on our arm motors is ramped. The motors are redundant, but we would likely have issues with our srimech if one was missing.

We have had issues with the carrier pins coming out occasionally, we're planning on welding them in place.

Since 2014, all of our arm VP's have led to an 5:1 chain reduction (the large yellow sprocket). I believe 2013 has a double chain reduction.
