Note that the BaneBots 56mm page isn't up yet but I bet it will be before Monday: http://www.banebots.com/c/MOTOR-PLAN

If this turns out to be true this will open up a whole new level of competition with the ability to use factory installed encoders on the output shafts of the gearboxes.

We will find out in just a few more hours but I am keeping my fingers crossed! I hope so because this will really be a step forward for FIRST and the level of competition.
