Re: Banebot transmission no longer COTS?

This would be considered an abnormal delay such as 1000 teams ordering at the same time I would imagine. It is unfortunate that they were unprepared for the challenge.

I imagine that you should cancel your order and start looking for other options. AndyMark.biz has a wide variety of great parts and deals. They are a slight bit more expensive in some areas but what adds in price picks up in quality of service and product. Or adapt to a product they do have readily available and make a change on your side.

Also if its a more standard part ( like spares/allowable added usage ) of what came in the kit, contact local teams or make a post on these forums to see whether or not people are not using theres and make a trade/purchase them from the team.

We ordered from banebots and got our components right on time, now just to get them on the robot and hope that the same mechanical problems don't occur.
