Re: pic: New gearbox CAD
A straight-forward single-speed gearbox--simple in its mechanical design, but the weight savings and sideplate design make it very elegant...something defintely to brag about if this is on your robot!

And yes, "elegant" can be used to describe a gearbox...ask the Germans!!
