What would happen with our drivetran in order to make it break the couplers and the mounts was that when we would get into a power struggle with another robot our gears in our gear box would try to reverse when we were not winning and the anti-roll back pins would then not let the motors be reversed so the drive shaft that connect the motor to the gear boxes would move under the force of binding up, as a reasult it pushed back towards to the motors and broke the mounts. So to fix that problem we took out the anti-roll back pins from the trany, then when we would get into a power struggle we would be pushed backwards and the gears in the gearbox were moving in the opposite direction of the motor causeing the threading in the coupler to be stripped out. WE do not have any knowledge what so ever in the gearing of drivetrans because of our lack of engineers. WE have one engineer and he is an electrical engineer. So I having a little bit of knowledge due to the fact that I am an ASE certified auto-technition built the best drivetran I could. We had a lot of problums with it, but all-in-all it was alright. But I think that we had to be the only team with that problem.
