Off-season project: How to integrate Banebots (and various other) motors with readily-available gearboxes, such as those attached to drills purchasable at Home Depot, Lowe's, etc.

A bit late for this year, but absolutely necessary for next year, methinks.

This is ridiculous. According to my tracking number, I should have our Banebots order tomorrow (it left Rochester today, and we're only 50 miles away) -- after ordering on the 17th. (Some of those items at the time had a 3-5 day lead time. Others had none.)

Were this a project I was working on myself for fun, I'd simply get over it and move on with my life. As this involves "my kids", I'm quite furious about the whole thing, and will do whatever is necessary to ensure that we do not have to rely on Banebots for ANYTHING EVER AGAIN after this season is over.
