They certainly seem to be quite solid. They may be a little on the heavy side but the reliability I expect them to have more than makes up for their heft. We can spend a little effort lightening these and then use all that extra time making the rest of the robot lighter.

Ordered a pair Saturday about two hours after the kickoff presentation ended. Received them this morning about 10am.
As Jim says they seem very solid. Shifting is very smooth. And there is clearly some room to reduce weight by simple operations the team can perform.

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.
