Re: BeneBots new plates - has anyone received them?

They sent them to our team, after we requested them online. Ours were delivered sometime between ship day and our first regional (Week 1).

There were also some available from spare parts at the regional.

As Dr. Brooks has said, you would be well advised secure the pins to the plates (e.g., by spot welding) before installing them because some teams have had the pins work loose and come out fairly soon after reworking their gearboxes.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
