Jim is right here, those extra holes are for alternative places to put the spacers in case your chain is wanting to run into them. Also, if you can't find a hole that gets the spacer out of the way, you could drill another set of holes.
As for the mystery white washers that Jeff was referring to in the original post, I will say here what I told him over a PM (or was it an email, I forget)...
Those white spacers are for customers who want their gearboxes tight. Some folks really don't like the side to side play that I prefer on the output shaft. So, they send an email or they call, asking for more of the small nylon washers (one for each gearbox). These can be put onto the output shaft between the sprocket and bearing on the outside (non-motor) wall, making there be absolutely no lateral play in that shaft. Maybe 10% of users want this. To me, it is easier just to throw another washer in with each loose hardware pack to make these folks happy.
Take care all,
Andy
I think FIRST is a big trap. They lure you in with these cool competitions and shiny robots and along the way they trick you into learning something :) - =Martin=Taylor= [more]
