Re: Our Banebots Experience
While we haven't experienced any severe distortion of the carrier plate double D hole, we did have one 56mm gearbox bind up so bad it couldn't be turned by hand with a 5" wheel on it. And this was in a 50 lb robot single CIM configuration on a slippery surface. And the instant releasal of magic smoke by the small banebots motor wasn't so great either. I like their products and prices, but due to reliability and durability concerns, BaneBots products will not appear on 696's 2007 competition robot.
