What aluminum gears? VEXPro?
We've used aluminum gears extensively from VEXPro and ones we custom made...never seen one "warp under pressure and get jammed".
It is highly likely you had another issue that was independent of the gear. For sure more information is needed before making a blanket statement that aluminum gears are worse than steel.
The toughest part about that Chairman's Award was the fact that someone was cutting onions in the stands near 558/on the field while it was being read out. At least that was the excuse I'm going to use ;) - esquared [more]
