Re: 2008 Kit of Parts discussion

the bottom ones went into the lexan fine, then the gears went in without a hitch. however when we went to put the big bearing (at least bigger than the ones that go in the lexan) on the shaft it got stuck about a quarter of an inch down the shaft. we hammered it and it still wouldnt go down. maybe the team just got themselves outsmarted by a 7 year old. the roll pin was easy once we stopped using kitbot metal as a hammer (as i said we are kinda poor) and borrowed a hammer from a guy in the neighborhood.

finger tightening kitbot bolts = doom to robot

well heading to bed maybe tommorow we will become "smarter than a fifth grader"
