However, I can see an issue with using them in AM gearboxes. People have noticed in the past that AM and Vex gears do not always mesh properly. That could be one cause of your binding. If you double check the assembly, and still see the issue, try the 14T AndyMark pinions that were included with the gearboxes and see if that solves the issues.

That's interesting and kind of cool. I was unaware, and I'm sure you can understand my concern at the statement without that information. 1747 is mixing gears from VP and AM in one place on the robot, but it doesn't seem to be an issue.
