Any Dewalts Trannies at the Philly and Chesapeake Regional?

Hi Joe,

Just to let you know that Buzz (#175) will be at the Chesapeake Regional. We will have both DeWalt's and Banebots on the robot, and think we have the carrier plate problem solved. We used the hardened plates, removed the short pins, re-drilled and reamed (.001 interference fit with loctite) new holes in between the existing holes, and ground off the excess after pressing them in to the right height. This removes the lead chamfer and gives maximum contact in the hole. We used 4mm x 16 mm hardened dowel pins which we got at Atlantic Fastener in West Springfield, Ma @ $0.31 each. Took a couple of hours to set up and do 2 plates. We are presently running the original plates, and will look for excessive backlash in the driveline to decide whether to put the new plates in at Chesapeake Regional. By the way, the DeWalt's are shifted, and our primary drive. We use the Banebots for a lateral drive, which is used intermittently, but very strong defensively.
