Build a cheap gearbox--ouch. You'd need at least a manual mill. Then the material for the sideplates and axles. Then the gears and output sprocket. Assuming you have the mill, you'd be looking at at least a couple hundred, I think. That's about what an AM gearbox costs.

MY TEAM WOULD LIKE TO BUILD SOMETHING LIKE THIS BUT DONT KNOW HOW?? DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE ORANGE THINGS ARE THAT ARE CONNECTED TO THE CIM MOTORS? WHAT IS THE THING IN THE MIDDLE BETWEEN THE TWO CIM MOTORS?
