I extend keehuns thanks to 3007 and 93 for picking us. It appears murplies law took effect on us this year several times.

We were replacing gearboxes on the first day and encountered more problems than we should have. Our joysticks worked backwards one of the rounds and then the PWM which fell out, and the gear which came loose when the 8020 popped off. I will take away some construction ideas for the future though.

Anything with high torque needs to be restrained better (the 8020 bar on the high torque cim for the lower brushes pulled the 8020 off the anchor fastener, we should have had a top one. And the electronics board was hard to get to.
