I can vouch for the AM kitbot gearboxes being rock solid. In our tetra bot, we had two FP motors -> two AM planetaries (2005) which fed a single AM kitbot gearbox. This gearbox then fed another AM gearbox... and it held together great for the season.... and for tons of demo's we've done with it 2005 and since.... still going strong!

Also, for a robotics education club I run at a private high school locally, I use the modern AndyMark single speed transmissions... they're rock solid, tough, and EXCELLENT for teaching mechanical advantage (simple and easy to understand for just-starting-out engineers). Not to mention, the pair of robots we have that use these AM transmissions run off road (dusty environment) doing autonomous navigation, no problems at all.

I remember andy was caught off guard when he saw this order come from 1024... wondered why we would be using singe speed gearboxes when we used two speeds the previous year... yeah i can see how that could be confusing.

They're a great product at the right price for educators and all wanting a nice, reliable, inexpensive reduction. Thanks Andy!
