Re: Banebot 56mm gearbox - double D related

Is the double D shaft pressed into that plate, or it just sits in there? Howabout the planet pins? This part that fails is just a 2D geometry plate? Is it easy to swap out? We have a lasercutting sponsor. There is a chance we may be able to set up a large production run of lasercut plates available for a small cost. Is laser accurate enough (draft angle)? What kind of material would it take to make this plate never break? How would it have to be treated/hardened? Joe, talk to me. I want this to be a good year for FIRST. A robot that drives without worry is the key to success.
