Re: Possibly useful - 33:1 gearbox
33:1 on a CIM is about 2.5 rev/sec. Perfect for an arm if you add in a small reduction before hand. But it would seem like a big modification perhaps.

Although a 33:1 ratio is kinda out there, it would work very nice to raise an arm.
Edit: The ratio to raise and lower my Vex robot arm is 7:1 and it moves extremely slow. So I wonder how slow that ratio would be, but then again it depends on the motor you attach it to. And then you could put it to be 1:33. Super fast. Not extremely useful in FIRST but maybe in a combat robot. LOL.
