Yep, we have seen it already and it's defiantly a terrific white paper.

The actual step we are concerned with is drilling out the sun gear of the planetary gear set to fit a CIM. We don't have a mill in our woodshop and our drill presses may not be accurate enough. We are just going have to try it to see how hard (or how easy) it actually is.

Actually before the paper was released, Team 47 came to the silicon valley regional in 2004 and Dr. Joe explained to me the wonderful benefits the dewalt xrp. So, I have pretty much procrastinated for 6 years the implementation of the dewalt gearboxes on our robots. Lets keep our fingers crossed that I don't stretch it to 7.
