When we went over the defences the stress on the teeth of the gears sheared them which is why there is no footage of us going over defences in the reveal. We reconfigured our arm so it's less than a foot long and that fixed the issue.

I was interested in how you arranged your electronics and other parts. Our robot also has a major structure running down the middle, chopping up the spaces.

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. Our electronics are all below the level of the arm so we can use the whole width of the robot. I will post a picture tomorrow.
