We are also excited about the base component potential, outside the standard 1, 2 and 3 slot packaging. Brendan and Andrew already mentioned 1902 piloted the Modulox concept last year on their competition elevator and gripper prototypes. Both these applications used only the base components with custom designed plates.

Dan, so I think you're saying that as a second year FRC team, we could prototype and iteratively change the gear boxes using the full Modulox kits... then, when we finalize/settle design we should replace the sliding gear box plates with custom plates, but, use the inner "guts" (gears, shafts, bearings, etc.) from the Modulox kit because the "guts" are competition quality... am I correct on this?
THANK YOU for your help!
