I really dislike the way the FTC kit handles transmitting power through the shafts with setscrews, amongst many other things in the kit. However, given the minibot rules and such, I'm sure many teams are going to be pigeon-holed into using the set screw solution. I'm sure it will work well for most teams, and some loctite here and there may help avoid any complications...still doesn't mean I have to like it.
