For the purpose of inspection, yes, these would count towards the robot's weight. The team in question would need to narrow the field of (30) transmissions down to some number that wouldn't increase their machine's weight outside of the 120lb limit.
Now, if they were to test before they were inspected, and narrow (30) gearboxes down to one, there are no problems here.
As far as getting in the door is concerned, since the (30) transmissions would be unmodified COTS components, they're a non-issue, at least when looking at the withholding allowance.
