Re: AndyMark - NEW "Modulox" Gear Boxes

THANK YOU for your help!

not Dan, but if you have the capability to integrate the modulox in to your robot design it can help save weight and look streamlined. but if your team does not have machining capabilities, like say using a kitbot the provided gearboxes do work well with mounting on one. we used the "guts" on our competition robot with no problems.
