The 8 screws don't presently do a good job of this.They cannot offer just the revised plates, as the manufacturer will not provide them. Looks like you will have to buy the whole transmission assembly to get it. That could change after the season, as time is short, and they are trying to meet the demand for Nationals. Who knows, by next year, they may have square holes and a square end on the output shaft as shown by Joe Johnson in some posted drawings, and make these transmissions the standard. Stick with these guys as they are willing to listen and make changes.
We were having a lot of trouble with all the set screws in the housings coming loose every time we drove. We took some 1/2" thick bar stock and used it to tie the two black square plates on the transmission together. After that we never had a loose screw (13 matches plus practice time). The transmissions were mounted to a piece of plate that the shaft passed thru. I don't have any pictures right now, if anyone wants to see one let me know and I'll take some tomorrow when we uncrate the robot.
