Re: Allowable motors early info
Gdeaver if you do find gearboxes that work it would be great if you could post them for the rest of the community. I worked with Joe P when he was writing the Nothing But DeWalt paper and I know how much it helped the community. One thing you might also want to look into is gearboxes from power wheels type toys like the fisher-price gearbox. I believe that 1114 had great success in using different gears from those gearboxes to quickly make custom gearboxes for their robot this year. I did some hunting in the past and found a couple that use the 775 can motors I never bought any to test but this could be a interesting option and they were under $30.
