Re: Anyone lost thier BaneBots Carrier pins?

During a fix-it window, we replaced the short pins in the new plates with longer ones from the older plates, holding them in with Loctite 680. This take only a few minutes and can be done with a hammer and a center punch.

When we arrived at the Chesapeake regional to install these plates in our gearboxes, we found that the new, hardened plates we had installed prior to the previous regional has lost their pins.

We had lost the second round in the semi-finals, fortunately. It would have been really dissapointing if we had won it, and gone on to the finals. Our robot would have been dead on the field.

I strongly recommend that any teams using these gearboxes change these pins.
