Re: Anyone lost thier BaneBots Carrier pins?
1351 lost the carrier pins on both our transmissions during our second match of the seeding rounds at SVR. When we first heard of the initial problems with the carrier plates, we had our machinist reverse-engineer the original plates and had them made out of higher-strength steel. This gave us the correct tolerances and the correct length pins. We had the new plates by then so we flipped them out in about half an hour. It cost us that match and the next one (we had to queue about 3 minutes after the match in which they failed). I have yet to open up the gearboxes and see how they are standing up, but they did not fail for the rest of the matches.
