That is not really that expensive
Anton,
I know it depends on your point of view, but spending $10-$50 on a gear is really not that expensive. Gear pricing depends heavily on volume. In the quantities that most FIRST teams buy gears, we rteally don't get the volume discount. Since the rules this year allow any off the shelf gear, hardened gears are the way to go and those are a little more expensive.
BTW, my point of view is this: I usually design gears that go into my company's robots that are around $150 - $250 a piece.
