Re: pic: 2x1 gearbox

Chak is reminding me that there are gearbox designs I'm supposed to finish and haven't.

As for the packaging, it looks great! I assume that the gear is exposed more on the bottom of the rail than the top because of the center-dropped axle, so would it be worth making this gearbox direct drive the back wheel instead of the center? That way you can flip the gear cut-outs and have the top side be more exposed. I honestly have no idea if that's worth it; I remember we had issues with the large driven gears eating into the carpet on the 2015 Vex chassis, but that was with gears almost as large as the 4" omnis we had at the time.
