Looks like y'all had a lot of fun making this video, can't decide whether there was more talking or laughing during this video lol. Best of luck to the graduated seniors in college and the future. Thanks for helping to give teams a starting point this season.
Replace the drive shaft with a screw and instead of using shaft collars use a nylock on the end. I always use a washer so the nylock doesn't grind against the c-channel and create friction. Also I'd still use bearing flats. Use the square inserts with a circle hole on your gears/wheels and there should be little to no friction on the entire assembly.
@@haydenford3794 Usually I use 2.5 inch screws (the longest legal) because I have to accommodate space for both a wheel and gears. But then again I'm working on building more compact mechanisms this season.
