If you are missing 2 of the 10mm Machine Keys from the gear boxes in the
KOP, here is the word from AndyMark about how it will be dealt with.

*Re: KIT OF PARTS!*
------------------------------
Here is our official response for this issue. I believe this will also be
communicated out through the next Team Update. AndyMark is accountable for
this mistake, and we have a response to help fix this issue.
--------------
ISSUE:
AndyMark has incorrectly packed only 1 machine key (am-1121, 2x2x10 machine
key <http://www.andymark.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=am-1121>) within
each CIMple box<http://www.andymark.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=am-0734>.
While this allows an FRC team to use 1 motor on the CIMple Box, this gearbox
is designed to use 2 CIM Motors (more motors available at AndyMark, item
am-0255 <http://www.andymark.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=am-0255>).
The CIMple Boxes were packed with gears, screws, and retaining rings for 2
CIM Motors, but were erroneously only packed with 1 of these machine keys.
CORRECTIVE ACTIONS:
1. AndyMark will begin packing 2 machine keys into each FIRST Choice kit
packed as of noon on Jan. 11th. FIRST Choice orders numbered 15160 and
beyond will include a small ziplock bag containing these machine keys.
2. Teams can email "sa...@andymark.com" and request 2 machine keys to be
sent to their address. They need to provide their shipping address and
contact name within the email. These parts will be sent out via US Postal
service.
3. Teams can email "sa...@andymark.com" and request 2 machine keys to be
included with their team's AndyMark order (non-FIRST Choice order). They
simply need to include their 5-digit order number, and/or the name of the
person who made their team's order. We will then include 2 machine keys with
their existing order. Teams can also request these machine keys in the
comment area of their order.
4. For a quick fix, teams can use a segment (1/4-3/8" long) of a nail that
is 0.070-0.079" in diameter as a substitute for this machine key.
--------------
Please feel free to PM me with concerns about this issue.
Sincerely,
Andy
