Re: 56mm Banebot problems @ Championship

Whether or not you experienced problems, the banebots have been proven unreliable.

If I were designing a single speed drivetrain to run off of one, or two small CIMs I would use the AndyMark single speed gearbox.

Not only is it cheaper (when running two CIMs), it is lighter and much more versatile. It can run a Big CIM without any modifactions and with a little ingenuity, it can be modified to run 3 or 4 of the following motors; Big CIM, small CIM and fischer price in the AM planetary.

For $98 and 2.91 lbs, I don't understand why ANYONE would choose the banebots over the AM planetary.
