It's just ink on paper now and will stay that way until after kickoff. If they do change the motors it will be a fairly easy edit in CAD. The gears in the gearboxes are Boston Gear change gears. Change gears can be purchased in one tooth increments from 20 to 96. The gears on the motors are Stem Pinion gears and come in 5,6,10 teeth. I chose these gears because they are all 3/8" face. They are all 5/8" bore. 1/8" key way. 20 DP 14.5 PA It makes it easy to mix and match to get the ratio you want. You can see the gears at bostongear.com. Go to Bos Spec 2 , open gearing, spur gears, change gears and stem pinion gears. You can download the CAD files, .STEP files seem to work best in AutoDesk Inventor. You will need to register to access Bos Spec 2, very easy. These gears seem to be a good option for teams like ours who do not want to try and make custom gears.
