I'll probly be the first person to point out that the overall positioning and overall design of the arm(on my teams robot) wasnt the greastest design.
there were alot of things we could have done different if we had the time, and i definatly agree w/ wut sanddrag said "If you take it apart a first time, it will take itself apart the next time."....Definatly true.
and as for things like to much force the wrong and such, my team was very careful not to have to much tension on the chain and to avoid sideways force on the gearbox where possible. just based on my teams experience w/ both motor i still greatly prefer the 02 bosch
