Me and team 1072 are bringing up the tools to replace pinions, if you need anything done at SVR, just come on over and we'll be glad to help you guys out with this.

we blew 3 FP motors.
1)we were drilling over the robot, and in our haste to get on the field, didn't blow the chips out of the bot. FP proceeds to catch fire.
2) We were replacing said FP, and in our haste to get back out on the field, we connected the FP leads into the conveyor. The driver had control over the conveyor, and the operator had control over the FP's, which were opposing the CIM, and got completely toasted.
3) The screws holding the FP to the AM planetary backed out, and the motor actually fell out of the gearbox. Turns out that while pulling FP motors off of spare AM planetaries, we swapped the mounting plate hardware accidentally, and ended up with screws that weren't loc-tited.
After that we took them both off the robot. By removing them we freed up weight that will hopefully allow us to keep our rear roller, add on the camera, and some other miscellaneous hardware.
