Also, on a safety note. In your videos it shows your robot going along the floor PAST all the students with uncage props. When I'm around running R/C aircraft I NEVER put myself in the plane of rotation. I've seen first hand what a prop can do if it breaks and flies free. I've seen them imbed themselves into 2x4 park benches.
PLEASE BE SAFE!!!!!

Yes. Debris would be an interesting encounter. I'm thinking of loosing the set screws on the gears just at the point of slipping. Then if there is any added resistance [ideally] the prop would simply slip through and maximum damage could be eliminated.
