Re: BaneBots P80 Gearbox

We have used Banebots trannys for all kinds of applications: drive trains, manipulators, everything. We even used the first generation in a dual cim drive train application and they worked flawlessly. We have always supported the output shaft when we kept the shaft at its full length. We have also cut the shaft to size and have used it unsupported. For spaces with short vertical clearance, they work very well. We haven't had the same issues with tight tolerances on mounting plates either. All our pieces are made with hand tools and a drill press. I'm pretty sure we aren't anywhere near +/- .001

If you come to a FRC event to see a robot competition, you are missing the point.
