We have used Banebots products on our robot, so I'm familiar with their capabilities. This is what lead me to make that statement.

We successfully used one of their planetaries on our roller grabber. It worked because it was a low load situation, but after working with/modifying that transmission, you could tell it was super cheap. Poor fit/finish of the assembled parts. Poor quality screws (both the fact they are phillips head, and the actual screw quality itself). All sorts of stuff like that.

Do they work in the right situation? Sure? Would we use them again in that situation? Yes, but we'd prefer to use something else if we had a choice.
