Re: Mounting Fisher Price Gearboxes

We made a custom aluminum plate that bolts up to the FP gearbox. Then we put a 90 degree bend onto the bottom part and mount it to the robot, to mount them vertically. I'll post pics later tonight.

The 36mm gearboxes aren't a good choice for the FP motors. They fit the 42mm gearboxes, however, Nanebots has sold out of all their high torque 256:1 gearboxes, and will not be getting them back in stock. This leaves only the 64:1 as the gearbox with the most torque, which might not be enough. The stock gearboxes are 124:1, which might be a better option for your team now anyway.
