There are no restrictions on gearboxes or aluminum.
From reading <R13> and <R19>, it appears to me that structures/gearboxes from previous years' robots are legal as long as
A. The structure/gearbox is unchanged from original purchase
OR
B. The structure/gearbox has been adapted specifically for this year's game
(which is to say if you have a piece of C-Channel from 2011, unchanged, it's legal. If you have a piece of C-Channel used on your 2011 robot and you cut it again for the 2013 robot, it's legal. If you custom-cut a piece of C-Channel for your 2011 robot and are using it unchanged from 2011, it's illegal.)
Although the motors allowed are restricted to the table in <R32>, there are no restrictions on gearboxes provided they meet <R16> and <R19>
