For drive in FRC applications (short runtime, friction bad), it's conventional wisdom to add about .003" to soak up manufacturing variations and go a little loose and free.
We used the exact pitch diameters.
We will try checking each motor separately on Sunday, and than if that doesnt work we'll probably remake the plates.
I'll keep the results posted here.
Thanks everyone!
