Re: Direct Drive from Toughbox Gearbox

I'm a mentor for a rookie team, and nobody on our team has had any mechanical experience (I'm an electrical engineer). Our team is also looking at powering the center wheels with the Toughbox. We would like to avoid chains and just use a direct drive method.
So since I have no experience with mechanical stuff, I was wondering if anyone had a picture or drawing of how to do this. The manual has some drawings on how to mount a wheel and using chains, but nothing on direct drive. Also, just to give you an idea of how little I know, I don't know what a hub is!
Any help would be much appreciated.
