Necessary Repairs & Maintenance & 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.

Possessor
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.
