The bearing blocks are 80/20 pivot pieces. We're going to open the pivot hole from 1/4" to 1/2". They tie in to the 80/20 from the top using their existing mounting holes. They're part no. 4181.
We had some trouble shifting the Dewalts and made no use of 3rd gear last year, so we were a bit slower than I'd hoped. As always, the game may change what we put into the drive, but if we can avoid pushing matches again, we'll probably stick with 1 CIM per side. Similarly, it's shown with four traction wheels, but we may again use just two and put omniwheels back onto the corners.
We expect to have our hands full with the new cRio system, so anywhere else that we can remove complexity, we'll do it.
