Re: pic: Whoops! Too much torque

1178 had something kind of like this happen at an off-season event (any Venturing Scouts might know about the Fall Fun Rally held in St. Louis, Boeing always asks us to come out to their events and show off a competition bot). After several hours of driving on asphalt, a scout drove the robot off the road, where one wheel got stuck. The scout proceeded to show the joystick all the way forward, and bent the sprocket and sheared off all the bolst holding the sprocket to the wheel. Needless to say, we were done driving that day.
