Gear Ratio:

High Gear = Output/Input
59.1 drill
17.5 atwood

Low Gear = Output/Input
206.8 drill
61.1 atwood

Torque(tranny)=Torque(motors)*Gear Ratio * Efficiency of Gearbox
T(in lb) 3172 low gear
T(in lb) 906 high gear
Are you sure you did your torque calculations right?

3172 inch-lbs is as much torque as some cars have. I don't think your bot has as much torque as a car (That would be pretty cool though, wouldn't it )
