Re: pic: Team 401 Drivetrain Teaser

i think people forget that these are linear bearings and there intended purpose is to have that anodized aluminum rod slide freely through it.
i feel many teams out there look through the kit and see these aluminum rods and immediately think they are meant to be axles seeing as axles for the kit drivetrain don't come in the kit. I'd say get a 3/8ths or 1/2inch bolt and use that for an axle and don't trust a 150lb robot to plastic pillow blocks
