We ran bolts through the tubed took of our frame and then through the bottom 4 standoffs of the transmission. While this cantilevered the gearbox a bit, we found that with 4 bolts, that attachment technique worked just fine on one of our off season robots.

The gearbox plates are flipable.

We used .5 inch stroke, .75 inch diameter bimba button cylinders for shifting.

As for brownouts, we found that they only occurred when we were in high gear and we plan to add software base current limiting in the future to account for this.
