Re: Non-FIRST Motor Suggestions?

I have decided to go with two CIM motors, as I'm familiar with them and they have gearboxes, controllers, etc. easily available. The duty cycle isn't much of an issue, as they won't be running long or working as hard as they do sometimes in FRC. I think I'm going to go with BaneBots 220 gearboxes, or maybe Toughbox Micros. The BaneBots seem more durable, but the Toughbox has higher torque(I think? 12.75:1 vs. 4:1). I know I would probably need bearings and mounting brackets, but would I need any additional hardware to mount the AndyMark 8" Pneumatic Wheels to either of those gearboxes? The link for the hubs doesn't work. The wheels' load capacity is listed at 120 lbs., but that's for one, I'm assuming. So two would have a capacity of 240 lbs. I know robots weigh more than that with a battery and bumpers...
