I second that. Very elegant, very nice design. If you use this gearbox... you should make a couple extra side plates and chrome plate them for explanation-to-judges purposes at regionals. We had a really cool frame system on our 2006 robot and did something similar... we had extra aluminum frame components that we polished to a high gloss shine for explanation purposes.

Everybody likes bling... even FIRST judges.

Great job!
