Thanks in advance.
Yes Andymark sells some, but none of them are in stock. I am told you can modify handheld drills to use their gearboxes with FIRST legal motors (other threads reference this). Or you could try to build your own gearbox; I don't really have any experience with this and my team is about 6 years old. You could order a P60 gearbox from Banebots, but expect it to take 2 weeks to get here.
