It's just that a small, solid (all metal) gearbox seems more reliable to me, as I've seen most of the veteran teams go that route. The plastic mounts were incapable of holding the transmission together for us, that's all...

Yeah I found the plastic mounts a bit soft. My friend over tightened the bolt mounts and it deformed the plastic. On the other hand I have heard good things about that plastic in the robot combat community. Of course they have said that it really is not good to use in a gearbox. Then again our team has not really had much trouble with them.
