Problems
- screws did not have enough contact, too shallow threads
- tolerances between shaft and ball bearings resulted in shaking that caused screws to come out
- large regions of useless aluminum on side plates
- back plastic armor affected wheel contact
- screws on hub (4-40) too thin to handle impacts
- open access to electronics by spinning weapon
- small bearings
- NEVER TRUST THE DRIVE MOTORS
Good aspects
- side plastic armor for wheels prevented total destruction of wheel, lasted several hits from a kit beater bar
- rear plastic armor allowed robot to not become trapped on a flat surface without wheel coverage.
- heavy weapon and good weapon motor
- drive while inverted
- Sturdy axle
- compact, easy access to electronics
- low friction between axle and hub
- powerful motor (FWOOOOOSH)
Changes/Improvements
- increase depth of screws
- increase width of axle
- increase size of bearings
- increase weapon attachment screw diameter
- locktight screws
- install screws into top plate to hold armor down
