Necessary Repairs & Mauntenance & Drive-Train

There are some necessary repairs needed. Also, some drive-train fixes & upgrades. I include these together. Suggest we:

  • Pull all pivots. Add spacers between driven sprocket lower 1" bearing. Check condition and refurbish as needed. All treads will need to be changed (they're beat). I will order more treads.
  • Remount magnetic absolute encoders to provide better protection to the connectors (e.g., rotate towards centerline). use wire-ties on these and other electrical connections.
  • Replace Steering Jaguars with Victors and test.

Mirror

Looks really good, but we should:

  • Verify that it stays within the frame perimeter.
  • It would be good to have a means of raising it during competition. A servo might be adequate.
