I had no doubt that the banebot gearboxes can be used, but they're a little expensive to go out and buy.. but, it might be possible to put the banebot encoder on the toughbox gearbox. They have the same size output shaft if i remeber correctly, it would probably just require a bit of careful drilling and tapping.

Although there were issues with a part breaking inside them last year, after they sent out a replacment that was properly hardened, we didn't have any problems.

Another advantage of them that I can see is the 4:1 gear ratio that is available.. which is 3 times as fast as the normal BB gearbox, or the toughbox.. which might be an advantage in this kind of game- but maybe too fast?
