I love how everyone here is so careful to say something chocolate-coated along with every critisism they make. You guys are so NICE!

Anyways, as for your comments, I hope you're wrong too if you don't mind me saying =). So far it seems to be working flawlessly but we get to do the real test in 11 hours or so when we unpack the bot and start playin' around. There's a good amount of contact area and the connection seems pretty solid. there are no stresses along the axis of the part and the stresses in the other direction are pretty well taken care of by the pin insertion technique we used. The twisting is the one direction where we would worry but we did drill the hole to interference fit so it's pretty solid even without the silver solder (of which there's a good 3/32'' band between the two pieces).

Everything in my my gut and my minimal experience tells me this is gonna work fine. I just hope you're not as clarvoient as my gut.

We'll see...
Good luck everyone!!

-Daniel
