Re: Summer Project - My first Gearbox

I think this is an excellent gear box and for the future I would suggest getting comfortable with 1) having a design that is ready to mount encoders 2) start looking into designs incorporating multiple motors around one gear 3) mounting motors already attached to a planitary gearbox to reduce the amount of reductions needed in the custom one. (4 chain and belt drive and what you can do with the reductions they can provide.
