Re: New Products for 2016: Speculation, Wants

We have nothing but great things to say about the Versaplanetary gearbox line.

We only had one failure all season and it was completely our fault - we abused the gearbox well beyond what it should have stood up to while prototyping our elevator. Even with 4 totes slamming our elevator carriage to the ground the gearbox still stood up to the shock loads we were repeatedly putting on it. It also made us realize we needed a disc brake at the price of just putting a new gear stage into the gearbox - a very valuable and cheap lesson when time is a factor during build season.

Versaplanetary gearboxes & the versa chassis products have changed the way we design robots in a really good way.
