Re: Worm Gear Drive
This past year was our 4th year of using a worm gear drive and as far as I know, we have not had any problems with the gearboxes themselves. We have modified them a number of times with success to reduce both their weight and size. A number of pictures of robots from past years can be found on the team website

To answer Noah's question, I don't recall our gears ever being damaged in any way.
