Attaching everything was very simple but repairing? Not so much. We were pretty confident that the gearboxes wouldn't break in the 1 offseason they were used at, but... They did. Ended up taking us about an hour and a half which involved taking the entire side of the chassis off, sliding out the output shaft and then carefully reassembling everything. We will definitely design stuff to be more easily repaired in the future.
The ideals that are held by myself and by many of the longtime FRC mentors and volunteers whom I consider friends and colleagues are bigger than FIRST, and we will find (or make) another vehicle for them if we are forced to. - Jared Russell [more]
