Re: IRI Teams with a spare P60 gearbox?

We realized when getting our packing list together this weekend that we are out of spares. Worst case scenario, we will be able to run our collector with a 26:1 gearbox in the case of a failure (which we have found to be quite common with these gearboxes), but a 16:1 would be preferable. We are currently running it with a RS-550, but most of the legal motors that can mount would do. Based on our experience when ordering from BaneBots, we do not think there is any way they would get it to us in time.
I think we have one or two with a 550 mounted from last year. I'll check this afternoon.
