Re: drive train wearing out?
Well if it helps at all, we were seeing temperatures of around 150 degrees farenheit using a non-contact thermometer after a decent amount of use. This was the temperature of the casing of the motor, so it could have been hotter in the center.
Thanks so much for all of the replies so far. We will definitely be putting a lot of effort into the robot on the practice day in Atlanta. I'll be sure to check everything you guys have recommended. The only reason I am thinking that it is not a loose connection is that we have noticed a significant difference in the drive motors, a smaller difference in the launcher motors, and no difference in the lifter. As some have said though, the lifter gets very little use.
