Re: [FTC]: IMPORTANT EVERYONE READ!!! FAULTY PARTS!!!

i will post a picture on saturday morning, but the holes on opposing walls of the c channel didnt line up so our axle was crooked thus causing our gears to misalign thus causing a binding problem that set us back a week in the matter of our drive train.
here is how the holes looked. imagine an axle going between the two "o"'s. Ignore the periods.
