What type of material are those gears made out of? That's a cool looking robot, I love the colors.

This field setup is really confusing me.

I see what looks like an official rough terrain defense and then 2 team castles that are next to each other?

Also, that is a very pretty robot. It is always cool to see the teams sponsored by John Deere painting their robot JD colors.

We used the same PLA 3D printed gears all season in both regionals without having to replace them. We did replace the large one underneath with a custom cut metal gear so it wasn't vulnerable to breaking on the defenses. The gears turned at up to 10,000 RPMs all season.
