Looks good for the first time! Let us know how this works out for you.
The manual labor wasn't so hard, it just took a while

We got this bolted on and made the part it drives today (video coming soon, watch for a thread in Robot Showcase), and it seems to work great. The trickiest part about this was getting the spacing between the motor and bearing holes right, and armed with a trusty 64ths inch ruler, we got it close enough that the gears mesh fine. At full speed it didn't seem to have any problems.
