The drill tranny is one of the "Great and Terrible" things of FIRST.

They are great because they have a lot of engineering all baked in for you.

They are terrible because they can set a lot of traps if you don't know what you are doing (and even if you DO know what you are doing sometimes).

I really don't like the current drill mounts for 2 reasons. #1 the output shafts cannot take a side load. #2 The drill motors are not really held very well.

We used the drills & drill mounts last year. They were BY FAR our highest failure system on out robot. We are not using them this year.
