I'm no ME, but I doubt you can bend the size metal that you need to make those plates out of (and not have them bend) with a regular manual break. I'd guess theres some pretty big loads, as you are supporting a roller that is supporting a significant amount of the robot's weight on it.
And then you realize...If you hadn't been working ALONGSIDE those engineers... you'd never have that other person to say, "Well, why don't you do this, so that it works?" - Nikhil Bajaj [more]
