Re: [FTC]: Any teams using dead axles for arms?

the problem we were having was that the clamps at the top gear of our arm were failing. we have a medium and small gear(i dont know the teeth number) on one axle, that sits between the big gear that is attached to the axle on the arm and a small gear that is on the motor. The center axle and gear setup does not slip or anything, it is always just the clamps that attach the big gear to the axle. We ended up figuring a way to get a clamp on each side of the big gear and putting a screw through the gear and two clamps. That seemed to fix our problem but it was an "on the spot" thing and we need to make it final or use something different such as the dead axle idea.
