Re: Gearbox Maximum Torque

Team 48 was going to use a 256:1 Banebot planetary. I was looking around in the North Carolina pits, when I happened into their area. I noticed them installing a hanger for the vertical bar, but I didnt see any motors or transmissions. When my team and I was working on a hanger we found a really nice 40:1 wormgear... but it was too pricy. Well, back to 48. Upon further inspection I saw they had a Fisher-Price and a parallel silver gearbox. I had never run into Banebots transmissions before this point, probably due to their reputation. There was a small orange sticker on that thing and I was fairly shocked about the reduction... until that moment I didnt think it was possible to cram such a small reduction into a small transmission.
