I'm pretty sure they're interchangeable, but I don't have one in front of me to check to be sure. We've got a 36MM gearbox lying around somewhere and the rest are on last year's robot.

We've got some replacements on the way thanks to Adam and 973. I'm trying to solve the problem that caused the failure now, but since I'm largely guessing at what happened and the work is unsolicited, it's challenging.
