First, we Scrubbed the componenets of the first drivetrain in order to make it look less dirty. 409 with the rough heavy duty sponges worked well to dislodge the dirt and then wet paper towels got the majority of it off. We then started to assemble the gearbox mount brackets. This required lots of drilling, countersinking, bolting, grinding, and filing. We then made bearing sandwich plates without the bearing hole that we put between the actual bearing sandwich and the side plate. This was to push the bearing further in in order to adequately hold the shaft. We cut PVC spacers to hold the wheel in the correct place. We assembled the gearboxes/wheel assemblies into the drivetrain, redrilling, countersinking and bolting the holes. We then handed off the drivetrain to electrical to do leds and cim wiring

The mount plates did not quite fit in multiple cases, and the mount plate holes did not align whatsoever with the holes on the drivetrain. After all the redrilling, this means that the other gearboxes will not fit on this drivetrain, lowering interchangeability between the competition bot and the practice bot

assemble mounts for the other gearboxes, and drill the holes based on the first chassis. this means taking out everything from the first chassis
