What do YOU want in the Kit of Parts?

[Gdeaver]

The BB planetary gear boxes are designed to come in at a price we can afford. Precision planetary gear boxes in the size to match the 5oo series motors are very expensive. Our team has not been able to find anything that we could afford that is better than the Banes Bot solution. So we love them and hate them.

To be honest, the only two pieces of electrical equipment we haven't had problems with are the CIM's and the victors (that includes burning up 3 cRio's and 4 PDB's). We have consistently had electrical problems ever since we left the old ifi system. Maybe we've just had a run of bad luck. Regardless of those issues, we more than likely will be finding a use for those little rs-550's in the up coming season as well

Our intake conveyor probably had more compression than yours (as it was way too much compression) with a ratio of 14.4:1 and a 1.75" pitch diameter pulley. No issues all season with the 550's on that. As suggested by others it was friction from another source.
