Re: pic: Another stripped VexPro gear

For other teams to identify potential failures before they happen, would you mind expanding on the circumstances that led to the failure?

Specifically:
  • Wheel Size?
  • Overall reduction in gearbox?
  • Any additional reduction after the gearbox?
  • Did the failure happen while driving on flat ground, or as a result of an impact?

We noticed a similar failure (but in a 14 tooth), that can probably be attributed to sudden impact combined with materials that don't have impact resistance as a strong point.

There's quite a lot of good learning (and fun!) to be had going down the failure root cause analysis road.
