which gearboxes can we use for this year?
hello
in the kit of parts we have Toughbox from andymark ... i just want to ask if we could use other gearboxes like: AM Planetary Gearbox :confused: :confused: |
Re: which gearboxes can we use for this year?
Generally speaking, unless the rules specifically prohibit something, it is usable/doable*.
They've put a chart at the end of Section 8: The Robot to help determine this -- in all actuality, if you follow the steps through the flowchart carefully and objectively, it works quite well. Following the chart, no gearbox is illegal unless it costs more than $400 or it was custom-made for FIRST in previous years' competitions. Whether the gearbox is practical to use is completely up to you... e.g. a 50lb unbreakable gearbox probably isn't worth it to an FRC team, but the AM planetary gearbox is perfect for some subsystems. *There are grey areas that are outside the intent of the rule...in this case, the AM planetary is not one of those. |
