Re: pic: #NotSwerve

We used these gearboxes on our robot this year. They were fantastic, esp. considering how we abused them. A few notes :

1. LOCKTITE like the instructions say. We did not do this and it caused several screw failures throughout the season, resulting in worn teeth on some of our gears. The gears themselves are overbuilt - they survived the extreme chipping a CIM coming unmounted caused.

2. The 22 fps calculated speed is too fast to drive without proper code, and will blow your breakers whenever you hit anything. For FRC applications , I don't recommend going faster than 16 FPS.

I'd be very interested in seeing the results of your tests of different ratios.
