The 2005 and 2006 gearboxes were custom made for FIRST. Therefore, you can't use them under <R32-B>. Note: the rule specifies the 2006 gearboxes, but take it from someone who competed with them both years, they are identical.

However, I seem to recall that the ToughBox uses the same gearing as the 2005-2006 KOP gearboxes. It is, however, a current COTS item, and is therefore legal.
