Some places like Robot Marketplace sell drill gearboxes.

Robot Marketplace's DeWalt gearbox was a possibility but it needs a pinion gear and I can't find any information on ordering them (Robot Marketplace does not sell them it seems). At one point FIRST teams would order them for the NBD idea but the links I can find are dead and no one seems to have posted the details (tooth, pitch, pressure angle) so that I could attempt to find a source.
The P60 is possible although the specific reductions they offer are so so (16:1 is not enough but the next step up is too much). The VP is my best option sticking with normal FIRST parts but it gets rather pricey for 4 of them. Both of these are good thoughts but I want to see if anyone has any off the wall ideas before I commit $300.
