We're just trying to avoid the $450 investment in Banebot transmissions. They'd definitely do the trick, but since we don't have any and we do have several Toughboxes we're looking for a more economical solution that uses parts we already have.

Also, aren't planetary gears less efficient than spur gears? I couldn't find anything too official, but this
website seems to agree.
