Problems

  • (List of Problems, 1 per bullet point)
  • 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

Good aspects

  • (List of good aspects, 1 per bullet point)

  • drive while inverted
  • Sturdy axle
  • compact, easy access to electronics
  • low friction between axle and hub
