Great looking stuff. The traction wheels will be a huge time saver.

I'm a little curious about the CIM planetary though. 181:1 seems like a pretty huge reduction. ~ 25 rpm is pretty slow even for an arm. Would it be possible to remove one of the stages to reduce the amount of reduction in the planetary? If so, that would make this a very adaptable design, and definitely something worth looking into, especially since you can use a FP planetary and a CIM planetary in conjunction.
