Thanks for all the suggestions:

-Pocketing the gearboxes was because we wanted to try out the CNC and with Cosmos it tells us that the plates are plenty strong enough. They are 7068 plates at 1/4 inch. So the plates are just for fun.

-The mentors were going over the specs and said that the 3 inch cims would be better for a 2 stage reduction.

Thanks everyone.
