The moral(s) of the story:
-Epoxy fixes everything
-Drill motor output torque isn't enough to shear epoxy
-Tom Schindler is the man.

Back before my time on 134, the teams rookie season to be exact, 9 years ago, the robot was being built, and it was nearly complete, except for one small detail, there was no drive train. So as rookies, the team decided to go direct drive with wooden wheels. Well no one really knew how to attach the wheels. Well one student *coincidently a former Clarkson student* said to the advisor, 'hey why dont we just epoxy the wheels on the motors'. Well they did that, and somehow managed to place very high.

Gotta love the epoxy
