A Few Questions

I've spent countless hours looking into my own personal development of this gearbox. Looking through catalogs, doing calculations, drawings, etc.

Given the game is accomodating, my team is seriously looking into building a drivetrain very similar to that of team 226 next year. To make our life a little easier, I was wondering if you can provide any dimensions on the side plates and bearing hole locations. Do all the shafts' axes of rotation lie in the same plane? Also, I was wondering the length of the side plate spacers. That would be very much appreciated.


A couple more questions:
Is the Chiaphua shaft and the central shaft 3/8 or 1/2 diameter? And how is the Chiaphua shaft attatched to the Chia's armature output shaft: is it pressed, welded or keyed?
