Going in the other direction: We saw very minor deformation of the carrier plates, noticed only while we were installing the new ones BaneBots so generously supplied. The robot then went to three competitions (NJ, Buckeye & Championships) without any failures or problems. We even won 2 Motorola Quality awards, 'cause nuthin' broke.

We have four CIMs driving one transmission each. The ends of the shafts are supported. Each shaft has 2 sprockets, each driving one of the six 6" IFI 2" wide traction wheels, all on a Kitbot chassis (the middle wheel is driven redundantly by other trannies). Final speed was about 11.5 fps. We climbed every ramp, did not lose any pushing matches (but tied a few times) and played defense mostly.

Overall, we are very satisfoed with BaneBots and their products.
