Single stage 14:50 reduction?

I do believe that Team 384 had a smaller one on the CIM, then called an Atwood, in 2002. It sat almost entirely within the foot print of the motors front. But I think there have been smaller than it, but that is still a great looking piece! Low weight and it looks rather robust.

Both this: http://www.andymark.biz/am-0002.html
and this: http://www.andymark.biz/am-0449.html

offer 3.67:1 ratios in the footprint of the CIM's face. They're planetary gears, and not spur gears.

Nice design though... I think you could make it lighter and smaller if you wanted to.

Were only attending WAT this year, we dropped out of GTR at the last minuite because we lacked the funds.

Ah. Well, see you there then! Fortunately this year 1075 picked up a new sponsor for enough money to get us to CMP finally. I can't wait.
