Hey geomapguy,

Thanks for the AM suggestion. I looked at that, but want to optimize for FRC space and function. And, I'm learing about gearing; this is my first time building a gearbox. We may end up using a COT as the designs so far are more complex than I'd hoped. I haven't received the Matex planetary gear set (pic & link below) and need to determine the shafting requirements for alignment and loading.

Also, to use the CIM with the AM planetary set, you have to trim the motor shaft 1/4". Is modifying the shaft FRC legal?

PN: 75-5MLD

The 5:1 ratio units I ordered cost $73 ea
