Re: Banebots 42mm gearbox: Recommendations for use
Is there any chance the BaneBots will make available for purchase the individual carriers? Two reasons: I would like some to test with that I'm not afraid to break. Also, I think teams would like to have spares if their carriers do fail due to some unforseen stall condition in a match.

I am going to take my 42mm carrier to a materials lab today and see if I can at least confirm the hardness values. Perhaps they'll also let me try some heat treatment. (Anneal -> Quench -> Temper would be best?)
