Re: BaneBot gearboxes out of stock...
Why don't you order the next higher reduction they have in stock and then remove a stage? Anyone with access to a lathe can do it in about 20 minutes! You dissassemble the gearbox, remove a reduction stage, measure the thickness of the unwanted stage and then remove said thickness from the ring gear. QED!
I can't stress how simple and easy this is!
I think that banebots should a) redesign their output shaft assembly and b) provide all teams two 328:1 gearboxes in the KOP. That way everyone gets some P60s and anybody can remove reduction stages to get the gear ratio they want.
