Gear Boxes

I have been reading all of the threads about drive trains that have been posted here and as always it is amazing to see the different view points and ideas. I have also been looking at different white papers that posters have recommended.

Now my question is more about the various gear boxes that I see on different robots. Over the years we have stuck the the supplied gear boxes and they have served our needs well. This year, due to space constraints and just the desire to try some new things, we are thinking we should at least look at some other options. Soooo, can anyone direct me to to any threads, white papers, pictures on gear box designs. I would love to see anything like the system that the Bombsquad used last year (and posted this season with the new wheels). Or a system where each wheel is independtly powered with a cim motor mounted vertically.

Any help would be appreciated
