Re: High torque that can be purchased.

We achieved 1600:1 reduction by replacing the output shaft of a 256:1 banebot planetary with a modified 8 tooth stem pinion mated to a 50 tooth toughbox output gear. Not an off the shelf solution, but very compact package as we also incorporated an encoder mount to measure the angle of the arm.
