In the past we always used steel and could see noticeable wear after running our robot for a lot of practice and real matches.
I guess with the aluminum ones, they just break teeth. :/

It's ok. We too lost teeth in semis and couldn't run at 10k... after having already replaced the 14 tooth gears in both gearboxes during quals. I feel like this whole 14 tooth aluminum gears thing is an issue.
