I certainly understand your concern, but I believe that you will be just fine.

#1 the failure is not instantenous, but rather works itself overtime. The rate that it fails is a function of robot design (heavier robots with grippier tires make things worse) and robot driving (repeated rapid changes increase the rate). There are many many robots out there that would never know there was any issue with these transmissions if they we did not tell them (even 2-CIM per side teams).

#2 the fialure only hurts the carrier, not the rest of the transmission. This will allow teams to drive as is and implement the solution when we finally get to that point. (we are working out the details -- stay tuned).

#3 while we are still working out the details of exactly what is need to address the problem, the early reports from teams that have implemented various bit of the plan have been very encouraging. Again, let me repeat that FIRST and Banebots are very much committed to working with teams to address this problem in a timely manner.

Stay tuned.
