Banebot 56mm transmissions are Available

[ZZII 527]

97 ran with only four motors total this year: 2 for drive with 56mm BB 12:1's, one for the main arm joint with 42mm BB 256:1, and one for the wrist joint with 36mm BB 64:1. I've spent many hours making, installing, and testing hardened spares as a precautionary measure, but in actuality none of our stock plates of any size showed any signs of deformation.

I'm not saying the problem didn't exist. In some situations (2 CIMs, for example) the safety factor on the stock plates was not adequate. But if BaneBots returns with an improved product next year, we would probably use it again. Lightweight, cheap, easy to mount (and cool-looking) transmissions are great and the more supplier options available to FIRST teams, the better.
