Rocker-bogie joint should use bushings instead of bearings #459

Open
@Achllle

Description

There's too much play from the bearings in the rocker-bogie assembly causing the rocker to be a bit flexible which can make the rover look crooked. A bushing would be cheaper and provide a tighter fit. Bushings actually perform better under higher loads when speed are low (which they are)

GoBilda doesn't sell bushings as of now so a solution would involve finding those elsewhere.
