Re: Banebot Transmission Issues
Well, I've been reading through this thread, and I'm about to throw up.

We bought the 2-CIM adaptor for the 56mm planetaries.
We bought the 16:1 conversion kits.

Somewhere, some mechanical engineer reading this post is laughing his head off.

We've basically done what everyone has been saying NOT to do.

What still bothers me is this:
Why would FIRST supply us with products that clearly were not properly engineered? Or, look at it this way. Maybe these things are substantial. FIRST usually does things the right way, wouldn't they have faith in the company that is supplying such a critical component in the KOP?

I...I don't know what to say. I am at a toal loss for words. I want to have faith in the 56mm's, but everyone is basically saying "ehh...notsomuch!"
