joe and all,
I spoke with Ed Yakey (the owner of banebots) this morning about upcoming stock and new products. He is well aware of FIRST and has stocked up on all products. There will also be a link on the front page outlining the gearboxes which are compatible with FIRST motors to make the selection easy.
In addition to the new gearbox which joe mentioned the other thing which I am very excitied to see is the new encoder option for the 42mm gearbox. For ~$38 you get a digital encoder for the gearbox which mounts directly to the output shaft of the motor. This is a very nice tool for people who wish to have some feedback on motor performance.

I personally have used banebots for both the FIRST robot in 2006 and my most recent
battlebot
I know that I will be ordering these gearboxes one it is determined what speed/torque will be needed with the FP this year.
