We haven't use the WCP gearboxes but we were really happy with our 3 CIM ball shifters this year. Something our mechanical guys really liked is the flexibility when removing them from the robot. We designed our chassis with a slot in the side plate as well as a large pocket in the bellypan so we could remove the whole assembly (gearbox, wheel, axle, etc) through the bottom of the robot. They found it was much faster and simpler to just separate the main gearbox from the third stage assembly when we had to replace the encoder gears for the updated version.
