Re: AndyMark CIMple Box Stripped Out

I second the cyclical fatigue motion. Constant running would likely not shred the gears, but high stress cyclic loading would cause them to fatigue and eventually the teeth would fracture. Perhaps your drivers were cycling the controls back and forth when the gearbox seized up to get the robot moving and this resulted in the gears becoming stripped.

Just a thought.
