RIP Banebot RS550 - Chief Delphi

But please take into account that each year, the GDC has to come up with a rule book that will spend the next three months being picked apart by 40,000 of the brightest, most creative minds on the planet. I think they do an outstanding job of it. - dtengineering [more]

I'm curious if you allowed for proper air intake in your gearbox design? That was a leading cause of failure I found a few years ago. Some of the gearboxes for the RS775 and RS550 actually blocked the intake and required some machining of air slots.
