Re: Banebot 56mm gearbox - double D related

team 2234 at Episcopal Academy had originally planned to use Banebot's dual CIM gearbox attached to the 56mm planetary gearbox but we no decided to scrap the idea, and go with AndyMark's dual speed transmission. more than just the double-D connection, the larger sized gears in the planetary box were worn down almost instantly. we had only done a few tests with no load at all and the gearbox just locked up. we found that the one of the gear's tooth was bent. we chipped it off as a temporary solution. but a few days later, after just one failed load test, it locked up instantly, and each of the gears had something wrong with it.

hopefully we'll have better luck with the new transmissions
