All our gears are COTS in the sense that they're off the shelf products from either Martin or AndyMark.

This year we were forced to use more gears from Martin than we'd have liked and fewer from AndyMark. That required us to do a lot of machining to remove hubs, machine dog teeth, lightening pockets, and hex broach bores. In that regard the Martin gears are not truly COTS.
