Another Method...

The students on our OCCRA (Oakland County Competitive Robotics Association) team this year are mounting the gear boxes by trapping the four tabs on the gearboxes between pieces of angle aluminum. There seems to be a lot of hand fitting (filing and such) involved but so far they have held up pretty well. This mounting requires that the output shaft be supported in two places and constrained axially.
