Dewalt transmissions

What are people's experience with using DeWalt transmissions on their robot? I am looking into the possibility of using Dewalts with CIM motors to drive a robot and also shift speeds on the fly. The idea is very attractive but I am wondering how well they would hold up in competition. I have looked over in great detail the wonderful white paper on these transmissions, but still am left with questions on durability.

Pictures of the DeWalt transmissions on robots would also be very nice.
