Re: Gearbox Key

We finally got out drive train put together and tested it by powering up the motors. One side was fine the other started working then just the quiet whirl of the motor spinning. Someone saw the 1/16" key sitting inside the gearbox. I had two of my freshman working on it today. They took it apart, we fixed it and tried it again. Same thing. Must have taken it apart three times. I'm going to go get a longer key tomorrow. That should solve the problem.
