ah, well then...

free speed of around 2500 rpm down to 2.2...gear ratio of 1136...at your max current of 40 A, then that's 1136*240 oz-in = 272700ish oz-in, and then considering dynamic loading you need to multiply that by at least a factor of 2 for safety one would think. 550000 oz-in is a pretty hefty requirement. Although, to be honest you will probably never ever ever see anything in FIRST that requires that sort of reduction to do something. Unless next year's game is pick up an elephant and hang your robot on the bar carrying the elephant...which WOULD be pretty sweet to see aside from animal rights issues...

Also consider that every mesh you make decreases efficiency by a few percent.

Just things to keep in mind. Keep up the good work.
