Team Death - New Heavyweight

[team death]

As a follow up to Adams post -the chains on this side of the reducer sprocket have
always been very close together, almost to the point that they may have meshed
together at some point and this may have attributed to the weld failure.
After welding the reducer yesterday I made the mistake of making the chain
sprockets even closer and thus the chains are now touching even worse.

So I will have to dismantle it again and next time get the chain
distances as good as possible.

Adam asked yesterday if it was just as well to start a fresh but I know
how long it took to make on the lathe and welding the sprockets on near
true-about a full day each-so that will be the last resort really.

Last night I traveled north of scotch corner to pick up the hydraulic platform
to make life easier when we take the robot to live events-its rated at 250kg
so that is plenty strong enough for our 110kg Robot and it has a wide and
long table to easily big enough to hold the bot safely.
