Re: Need for Aluminum Gears and Sprockets?

There's definitely interest here. Depends on a few things: Price, Quality, and precision. If they're a somewhat decent CNC shop, quality shouldn't be too much of a problem. Price, on the other hand, will determine if these products even enter the radar for FIRST teams.

As far as gears go, here are the sizes I'd like to see: Keep 3/8th face width, 20dp, 14.5 degree pressure angle. I'd love to see mainly 14 tooth pinions (steel on alu= ICK), 24, 48, 60, and 64 tooth gears. If they can match or even come CLOSE to Boston and Martin gear's prices, I'm sold already.
