[Rob Colatutto]

If the rules for off the shelf parts stay the same this year, you will be able to buy a premade gearbox off the shelf to use with any of the motors, provided you do not modify the motors themselves to use them with it. Custom made parts ordered do require you to add material and machining costs into the total robot cost. You will have to read this years rules very carefully on what is considered legal or not, try to avoide assuming the rules will stay the same.
