That could be pretty simply solved by facilitating the use of reduction before the input to the cycloidal gearbox. 8mm keyed shaft inputs would allow for direct drive from CIMs/MiniCIMs, but also potentially VersaPlanetary, CIM-Sim, and/or CIM-U-Lator. Allowing for 3/8 or 1/2" round or hex inputs would open up possibilities even further.
