We switched to using a Toughbox Mini and running the motor parallel to the shaft instead of perpendicular, which gives more room for electronics as an added bonus. We've been having problems with sag, but we are using the encoder-and-limit-switch method described earlier in the thread, so we can use PID stabilization. It's also a slightly lower reduction, but still powerful enough, in conjunction with a 25:1 VersaPlanetary.
Our arm assembly was also very heavy at that point because it is an intake and shooter. We lightened the intake considerably after that event. Depending on the weight of your arm/violence of movement, a raw box may be sufficient.
