Re: pic: The Franken-Box guts

What type of Gearbox is that? I cant seem to find them on AM. If those are GEM 500s than they look so small! Or ours are just old and huge...

That's the old style AM planetary. Same as the one they sell now, just a different housing.

Re: pic: The Franken-Box guts

If you can't buy that gearbox anymore, and it was not a past KOP part, then you probably can't use it. But I might be reading the material use rules wrong...how many times have you read them? do you have any fledgling lawyers on your team who might be able to help you figure it out?

I think it's legal - provided that it's unmodified. My reading of the rule below is that the part must have been in its stock condition at the beginning of the build season, although it could be read as saying that the part must be used on the robot in its unmodified condition. Please correct me if something in the Q&A has changed this.

Sounds like you can use it then. Thanks for quoting the rule, I should have done that.
