FRC 33 has used a lot of Dewalts, but not in the drive train since 2006. In 2008, we talked about a dual CIM into dealt XRP, but I found a component in the XRP that likely would fail. FRC 27 ran dual CIM into Dewalts and had dome issues (different component but similar failure mode).
In 2010 FRC 33 ran a cim through a dealt into an andymark gearbox and then a big chain reduction for the robot lifting arm.
In 2012 we switched to a small Milwaukee electric screw driver for a winch. High torque and anti back drive. This tool used a 550 series motor so the conversion was much simpler. Bosch has a nice 2 speed unit but the pinion swap is pretty tricky as the pinions are prone to break.
