opened up the boxes today and omg... a little disappointed with the lack of parts this year. the packing crews seem to have been a bit lackadaisical with out boxes... 14 different pieces missing. does anyone know how the toughbox transmission is assembled? we followed the movie on andymark but the 7 year old just slipped a piece on and we sat there for two hours with a hammer trying to get that piece on to no avail.

also i notice that the kitbot chassis seems to have no inner structural support (bar in middle) like it had during the last four years. anyone have a clue where that went?

are the cim motors this year the same as the ones last year? because our team is lower on money this year so any parts that can be stripped off old robots are good.
