As a summer project we are going to look for mass produced off the shelf alternative gear boxes. Mainly power tool and automotive units. Every one should be familiar with the Devault hack. We are looking to do the same with others. I found a seat positioning motor gear box that looks to be adaptable to a RS540 - RS550 motor. Well constructed unit and looks like a plate and pinion change is all that is needed. Also, the mini cordless drivers look promising. We used 5 banesbot gear boxes this year. While we did not break any , there were to many problems, shipping delays and substantial cost. Got to be something better out there. I found some surplus precision servo motor gear boxes online for 33$. List price is around 310$. Could we account for them at 33$ on the BOM?
