also going to look into the #609 loctite for gear bonding vs. welds

I strongly recomend staying with roller bearings. I have seen may teams learn this lesson.

The way I look at it, we are all limited by the amount of energy we can put into our motors. A design that has less parasitic losses will put more of that energy to the ground.
