There will inevitably be enough unintentional failure in any endeavor we take on that adding intentional failure on top of that seems unnecessary. - Jared Russell [more]

The thickest shaft anywhere on our robot is 1/2" hex or 1/2" round. What you're probably seeing are Delrin spacers. We buy about a dozen feet of black 5/8" OD and 3/4" OD Delrin rod every year and drill out the center on the lathe to make shaft spacers. Anything which doesn't have to slide off, or transverses a long distance, has roll pins to keep it in place. Otherwise, we use Delrin spacers for pretty much everything else.
