We've already considered the versaplanetary, and while it is only slightly bigger, it is too big to fit into our motor mount. It's mounted between two important structural pieces that hold the shooter together which is a horrible design by us. We have a huge chunk of aluminum with a hole cut the size of the motor, and two pieces of box tubing which help keep it from wobbling that would prevent a different sized gearbox from fitting. Our current plan is to take off the transmission, and replace it with a shaft coupler if we really need to. If we find that running our "modified" transmissions doesn't have a problem with hi-temp grease, we'll just use that. Since my last post, I've found out that our team has actually done this modification before successfully and used it on a very good competition robot. The successful transmission is lost now, but the planetary gears were welded together, and the bearing was replaced with a high quality one. If we need to, we'll bring hi-temp grease and a new bearing to the competition and fix it there.
