Re: what motor did you use(arm)
1726 used the small Banebots motor and a 125:1 Banebots gearbox. this drives an 8:1 chain reduction, and the arm is mostly supported by a gas spring. it worked all season, and is still working (they're playing with autonomous programming now).

AJ R--I'm not at all surprised that you're having trouble with the 56mm Banebots transmission...think about what you are doing to it, you are driving it with a gear reduction motor that can put out way more torque than the transmission is designed to handle.
