The "no-back" roller, or the locking pins stop the transmission from back driving. You will notice its effect when you get a normal drill and try turning the chuck. That's why you can put the drill bit on without the chuck giving away.
It is recommended that you take apart the drill transmission and take those little pins out, because they will break when output shaft experience a lot of load, like when a drive train is being pushed by another strong drive train when sitting there.
To take them apart, just open the transmission, and take out all the planetary gears until you reach to the back of output shaft. You will see two tiny pins sitting back there.
Only bad thing about this, is your robot will be rolling around... So if you are not telling the drive train to push back, other robots can easily push you away.
We decided to keep those pins for the 2000 robot because it kept rolling off the ramp... But that's probably the only reason whe people would want to keep them in.
