So how many of you actually have a working minibot/deployment?

Buy more TETRIX motors.

We ordered two before we got the FIRST choice package.

I'm going to lobby to buy more.

If you have one working minibot in hand, I would advise you leave it alone until you have a second better working minbot in hand- Only after you reached that point should you consider cannibalizing the first minbot.

Yes, it's $40-60 for the motors depending on your school discount- but it is a huge stress reliever to have that working bot locked up safely while you experiment (especially if you are considering destructively ripping into the gearboxes)
