We currently have a couple old Banebot planetaries and are looking to switch them out.

Oh, yes the input would be the same but again this current setup has very little keyway profile so for heavy torque applications it might not be the best design. (This is just from FRC experience I'm not a Mechanical Engineer.)
We are using the VEXpro single speed gearboxes but I would think the VPs could work in place of the large BB gearboxes. Check the torque ratings table on the VEXpro website for guidance though non of those are for this setup as it isn't officially recommended by VEX.
The single speed gearboxes we are using are 5.33:1 so a 5:1 VP would be a suitable replacement.
