Re: Fisher Price Gearbox?
Our team did that in two places on the 2006 Championship bot. It's sitting here beside me, and all I know is they hacked off the output gear and the body around it, and jacked a shaft into what looks to be the next-to-output gear. I asked one of the 2006 team members about it (before my time) and he said it was a pain, but it's still working. Good to have some spares to practice with, but don't be afraid to open one up and take a look.
Mounting the gear box ordinarily can be quite simple. Run a shaft through the hole (supports the weight) and any bar with a screw or two through the plastic to take the torque.
Good luck!
