Re: Nothing but Dewalts???
The dewalts couldn't really shift on the fly. If you were driving, and you shifted, you first heard a screeching noise, one side of the robot stopped moving, the robot started turning, then one side made a crunching noise, shifted into gear, spun the robot, then (if you were lucky) the other side would fall into gear a second or so after. If you're interested, check out 118 in 2007. They used a dewalt gearbox, and were really successful.
However, there are a TON of things out there that use motors really similar to the RS 550 and 775. You can grab gearboxes from these all you want. You can find leaf blowers, circular saws, drills... Who knows, maybe you'll find something better than the drill!
