Pre Atlanta work:

1.  Rebuilt all conveyor banebot reducers including spares.  Disassemble all parts, deburr mating surfaces.  Removed endplay from output shaft assembly by shiming bearings apart to get about .005" end play max.  Wash all components in solvent, dry.  Reassembly with EP type grease.  Used Exxon Romex MP.  

2.  All motor and speed reducer transmissions are Identified using a number and letter combination.  A runnig log sheet is kept up in the box with the spare motor / transmissions and rebuild tools.  We now have a history of the service duty and what has been done to the units.  Also the units on the robot have been identified as well.  Example: A-1, B-2, C-3, etc.

3.  1/8" re-enforcing side plates were added to the shooter motor transmission to hold it together.  This unit was almost completely apart at Maryland.  Maybe due to extra vibration on top or that unit may not have been tightened correctly or lock washers left off?
