Re: Legality of Gearboxes
Check the definition of COTS parts (Section 1.6), <R27>, <R28>, <R29>, and <R19-B>. I think you'll find that an AM GEM gearbox meets all the criteria. If there are no other rules against them, then you're good to go.
The GDC's vague answer was probably in response to a vague question. Limits on gearboxes may include weight, space, cost, laws of physics...
