We found out the hard way that the anti backdrive pins inside the lift system's drill transmissions weren't sufficient for consistently supporting the weight of the robot while hanging. That is what failed in the final match in Cleveland, and that is why we fell. We removed the pins from our transmissions and installed a servo locking system in Canada, and everything works great now.
