Go to Post I think there are a ton of teams that would kill for one let alone three engineering mentors (especially one with the knowledge and experience that Rich Olivera has). - XaulZan11 [more]

Only because we busted up our frame pretty badly in Portland. A hard hit sent ripples down the side plates on one side our drive and parallelogram-ed the entire frame. The gears don't mesh well anymore and the wear on them by the end of the event had made the robot almost entirely unable to drive.

The gears coupled the VexPro Ball Shifter output to the back wheel. Everything else used chain. We're replacing that gear stage (34:64) with a sprocket stage (16:32).
