We loved the old 36mm BaneBots gearboxes and used them on nearly every robot we built from 2006 to 2012. They were lightweight and inexpensive and worked great for light high-speed loads. We only stopped using them because they stopped being manufactured -- if we had enough spare parts for them, we'd still be using them, as we really haven't found a replacement for their specific niche.
