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.

To add to this, we also cracked our beaver tail intake. It was so sad watching the robot drive as the intake flopped around.
