I'm curious: is the plan to custom-make these based on a team's design, or instead to manufacture standard items? If standard, would the supplier be interested in describing the specifics of the parts that they'd offer, maybe with a few drawings? Mounting details would be especially important.
Also, do the sprockets have the tapered teeth that are found on ANSI-style sprockets, or is the plan just to cut them from sheet stock (on a laser or waterjet)?
As for gears, I'd be interested in knowing what pitches and styles will be offered.

He will custom sizes, but it will cost more for individual sizes. He wants to make standard parts, the supplier will upload all the drawings, weight and other important info. The sprockets will be tapered.
The gears will be made upon demand. What sizes of sprockets and gears would be suitable for FIRST?
Thanks guys
