 The culture has shifted, people. You can act shocked and complain, and likely lose the attention of the students you want to reach through FRC and other activities, or you can shift with it, and make FRC relatable and relevant to a bunch of good kids with foul mouths. - mrnoble [more] |

Re: Legality of Gearboxes
Sgreco,
I agree 100%, however we wanted to make sure that we wouldn't run into any problems. We Posted a similar question on the Official Q&A and the answer was vague. We decided to come to CD for more insight. |

Re: Legality of Gearboxes
Check the definition of COTS parts (Section 1.6), <R27>, <R28>, <R29>, and <R19-B>. I think you'll find that an AM GEM gearbox meets all the criteria. If there are no other rules against them, then you're good to go.
The GDC's vague answer was probably in response to a vague question. Limits on gearboxes may include weight, space, cost, laws of physics... |

Re: Legality of Gearboxes
Thank you all,
We pretty much came to the conclusion that we could use the gearboxes because, aside from the price, weight and COTS rules, there was nothing that explicitly limited the use of gearboxes. However there was no rule or citation that stated they could be used. We just wanted to be doubly sure before we went any further with our design. |
