In synopsis, these gearboxes are less than suitable. That's Karthik putting it mildly.

I'd say that's a
small load. It's the equivalent of a 1 lb load on a 36" 1 lb arm - held horizontal. Who wouldn't dream of a achieving a 1 lb arm; and who wouldn't want to reach more than three feet?
Mid way thru the build is no time to be finding this out. If we bench tested every component, we'd still be three weeks into the build, with nothing designed.
We go into this knowing it's about teaching engineering problem solving; but it should not be about solving the supplier's engineering problems. I want to know if they plan on paying for our services!
Happy low scoring everyone!
