Re: 4488 Off-season Gearbox

Yeah. We are starting with this so we know that we can actually do the design and manufacturing. If we know machining our own works, we can customize them more when we actually need them to be custom. But for now, going with what we've seen work on many robots seems like a great starting point, then add more later if needed. In addition, I started working on these gearboxes before WCP even existed, but at the time we didnt have the machining resources, so now that we do I want to see what our kids can do.
