Re: Optimal Gear Box For Motors

Another thing to note that the "217-2000" motor that you are referencing to is usually referred to in FIRST as the CIM. It's a lot easier to ask for "CIM gearboxes" than "217-2000 gearboxes," since many people will have to look up what motor corresponds to that part number.

Other than that, heed the advice given by others on this thread. Andymark and Vex Pro both have a wide selection of gearboxes that can suit your needs well.

[EDIT]: Jon Stratis beat me to it. Darn me for having to consult the rule book.
