Re: Looking for suggestion on a Gearbox replacement/sub
Why limit yourself to a product solution designed for FRC? I'm assuming you would run this 12V? Why not plug into a wall and not have to deal with batteries? You'll find a lot more motors/gearboxes designed to run full time that can deal with a lot of weight outside of the hobby robotics realm.

We have run into this with a lot of projects we have built for other clubs around the school. The problem with making it based in FRC stuff is that you almost have to have a member present to operate the thing every time it gets used just in case something goes wrong...
