What machining processes do you expect to have available, and what's the budget?
Also, needs more shifting. (Or more to the point, what does it do that an AndyMark product couldn't? Price and design experience are valid criteria here.)

it would be used on a chassis, for a 6 to 8 Wheel Tank Drive. The wheels will be direct driven by the output shaft, to a hub (from AndyMark). Any 6 Inch wheel would work, others would to but may not have the best speed and torque wanted.
it would just get bolted to the robot, the outside plate (side with output shaft) would be bolted, right onto frame of bot.
I would most likely get this Water-Jetted, from Sponsor. We have lathes and Mills to make shafts (except output shaft which is from AndyMark)
I wanted a Single speed transmission for my first transmission, so that's why its not a two speed.
I have no knowledge of any Benefits so far. May be cheaper, and lighter but I never tried to compare. This was strictly for me to get use to designing transmissions.
