These gearboxes are designed to be versatile (hence their name), because we FRC robot builders often change our minds. Parts that can be re-used in a several different ways allow us more freedom to try other solutions, after we've seen how the first one worked -- or didn't. Keep those extra parts -- you might very well be glad to have them, two or three iterations from now.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
