 From what I've seen in FIRST, teams that copy generally always learn something from it, and if they don't, the copy they produce is of much lower quality than the original. - TheOtherGuy [more] |

Re: pic: 8020 Chain Tensioning idea
The main reason so many teams have trouble with 80/20 fasteners sliding loose is beucase... of... well its becuase they used the 80/20 fasteners...
Our team takes steel 1/4-20 bolts and grinds the heads so they can fit in the 80/20 grooves. Then we put a lock nut on the top. If your're too lazy to grind bolts you could also buy these. One heck of a lot cheaper than 80/20, and it will never come loose. Or you could just put lock-tite on the 80/20 bolts, but thats a pain.
