SET SCREWS!!!! !QUE HORROR! We did the set screw things on a little practice bot we made and brought to KSC with us and we broke the screws a milion times. For the drive train we had the double d and for our arm we use weld with hardened steel pins (I forgot what they are called) but they are almost impossible to pull out and we never had one break even in last years gave where we lifited the bot up with the arm (often with others pulling down) not to mention won arm wrestling with one of the schools biggest football players
