Overall: The arm gears proved to be as much trouble as I expected. The drivetrain, however, is fully dialed in. I never had any issues at the event with the drivetrain, except one loose pinion which was my fault for not coating it in Loctite to begin with.<\/p>\n

The arm beam itself completely failed on a particualrly good punt (visible in the Igoo video), but that wasn’t surprising either.<\/p>\n

In the end: no more rush builds for events, especially now. I paid for it dearly with a week’s worth of missed work that I had to make up, so the week after was double-time busy.<\/p>\n

I’ll repair the arm and tidy up the rest of the bot for whichever event comes next. Oh, and rebuild the gear mechanism, since it sucks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
