Re: Bane Bots Gear boxes not allowed?

Technically this is correct, the KOP models are no longer available. We ordered the gearboxes, but in talking to banebots they have tweaked the designs somewhat. From the outside they wont appear different, but they have made some design improvements from last years models, and provided different shaft sizes.

The short of it, if you buy them from banebots after kickoff, they are perfectly legal COTS items. If you want to use the KOP ones from last year, they are no longer available to all teams, and therefore not legal.
