 I fear sometimes as time increases between the present and when someone started, some sight of just how hard it can be to field a functioning robot for a young team is lost. - xForceDee [more] |

Re: pic: FP Gearbox (KOP Gears - 2)
I can't tell from the photo, did you remember to make slots or holes for the air to circulate through the motor? I also can't tell if the pinion is making full engagement with the gear. It looks like the engagement is at the very end of the pinion. A thinner side plate (or a recess in the current one) will move that closer to the motor's bearing and make life easier on the motor shaft.
I'm guessing the use of the hex bearings eliminated the need for any lathe work. That's a nice option for teams without access to a lathe. How are you locating the hex shaft axially?
