56mm Banebot problems @ Championship

[Skute327]

What were you guys with damaged BB gearboxes using them for?
we had a direct drive to the wheels no chain, and yes, all of the robots weight was on the shaft. we went through build, practice, and our regional without problems, I just took one box apart, and it was perfect, no sign of warping bow tying or loose pins on either plate. and, they are the original "recalled" plates.
and because we were a defensive robot, we did a significant amount of pushing, quick bursts of power from forward to reverse and other damaging things to them. they are still fine.
in my opinion, the BB gearboxes are the best gearboxes first has given us, I highly disliked 2005-2006 2 motor gearboxes, and the terrible grinding noises they were known for making.
