Re: Fisher Price Gearbox
Fisher Price sells a hub that fts over the white piece. It is flat on one side and with a spacer you can bolt a sprocket to it. We ran a 1/2" shaft through the middle and made the spacer fit to that. You'll need to put a collar on the shaft to keep the hub from coming off the white piece.We did it on our 2005 robot. We used two FP transmission/motors facing each other with the sprocket between them. I couldn' find a good picture of the assembly. If you need one PM me and I;ll see if I can get a picture in the next couple of days. (yes! we still have all of our previous years robots around!)

Good luck!
