Re: Anyone lost thier BaneBots Carrier pins?
We decided to follow Team 237's advice and spot welded the back of the pins to the carrier plate. The welds stuck up a little (maybe a 1/16th of an inch) but it cleared the outer housing, so no grinding was required. When we went to re-assemble the plates, we found that at least one of the pins on each of the carrier had lost its perpendicularity, and kept jamming up the stage. So, we ended up running both gearboxes with only 4 of the 5 planet gears in them.
We ran 10 matches, 4 practice rounds, and about a hour of practice on the practice field -> No Failure! We haven't taken them apart to confirm their health, but I'm fairly confident that they held together without losing any pins. We'll be double-checking for our post-season comps. Best of luck, BEN |
