Re: What hath we wrought? 2016 Horror Stories
Anyone who ran or helped run a competition understands the struggle of dealing with the defenses. Stronghold was cool, but it was a big logistical challenge.
As for failures, we've broken four 17t gears from the AndyMark Sonic Shifters (2 during the regular season). We have one more competition this year and hopefully we don't need any more because they appear to have been discontinued.
We also sheared a 1/2" steel drive shaft very early on in the season.
I hope we can go back to 4" or 6" wheels (aka a wheel size that were used to determine gear ratios for COTS transmissions) so that we don't keep breaking parts with unsuspected loads.
