We ran on Saturday and noticed some flex in one of the drivetrain gearboxes, worked till 10 last night for reinforcement now thats fixed. Next problem, the power is ruining the wheels fast enough that there was rubber bits all over the field. To all who haven't found out: Moving a goal is really quite easy forward and back. Rotating a goal out in front of you takes an incredible amount of traction if the goal is at a standing stop. We have no problems once on the move. There is going to be such a fine line this year between maximum power/traction and carpet destruction it isn't even funny. I thought we had the balance but back to the lab for something else for traction. One good note is this is the first time we were driving before week 5 so there actually is time to fix it before shipping it, what a novel idea.

Good luck to everyone
