[FTC]: IMPORTANT EVERYONE READ!!! FAULTY PARTS!!!

[qwertyuiop[]\]

today we found out that a faulty c-channel that we had gotten in the kit caused our robot to handle improperly and caused gears to mesh wrong. i warn you to check all of your parts before you use them in construction to save you time and hassle.

In what ways was said part "faulty?"

Please post a pic up if you're going to call a product "faulty."

Hm..Faulty eh?

Anyone know how much the "lag" for ordering extra parts is?

i will post a picture on saturday morning, but the holes on opposing walls of the c channel didnt line up so our axle was crooked thus causing our gears to misalign thus causing a binding problem that set us back a week in the matter of our drive train.
here is how the holes looked. imagine an axle going between the two "o"'s. Ignore the periods.
