Re: ARM GEARING ON ROBOT

we use one of our past gearbox designs slightly modified. It is ~ 75:1 reduction with 2 CIM's powering it. The teeth pop sometimes, but not enough to warrent rebuilding it. Due to the elbow joint breaking, this thing will lift a tetra and an 8' arm from the ground to verticle in a few seconds.
