The gearbox in the pictures (look at #15) is a
toughbox mini
This is an original
toughbox
I don't know much about the mini, but I do know the only toughbox we have on a competition robot has ran in about 50 matches, and in every demo we have had for the last 3 1/2 years, without any problems.
Also, looking at image #11, from the wear pattern on the gear it appears that only part of the gear (the bottom half) meshed with the other gear (the top has no wear). This may be how the gearbox is designed (I don't know, I haven't looked at one closely enough, but it may be an indication that the gears are not quite the right location. Maybe missing a spacer/spacer in wrong place). I would expect this to make it wear faster, maybe someone who knows more about this than me can answer that?
