Was there a poll on how many fixed the issue by:

  1. We did a better overall design
  2. We just cut down friction by using bearing blocks, straight shafts, better alignment
  3. We just bought a case of the freeze spray for each even

bro at worlds we dumped cans of that stuff onto our motors, enough to make us almost die, and our motors were STILL not cooled down. Don’t forget we paired it with a fan too.

simple solution don’t use motors
use pneumatic drive
pneumatic flywheel
pneumatic indexer
pneumatic intake
only use pneumatics

Good engineering doesn’t tend to rely on magic though…
