High torque that can be purchased.

[nnfuller]

So our team just finished our second and final regional this year, and i was left with one large impression, that we have yet to find a way to have a high torque requirement such as lifting our main arm not destroy gearboxes... currently our system of a Banebot 256:1 with a 60:22 sprocket reduction powered by an RS-775 is not cutting it in the slightest. We broke four transmissions at great cost to our team and increased stress of our pit crew. Please note that a disc brake was designed to reduce this stress but seemed to do little due to small amounts of backlash in the system. So my question is, how do you do it? I would like to find an off the shelf solution, but would also be open to custom solutions, provided the don't seem like they would require excess machine time or custom gears. While our fabrication team is very talented we do not have the technology to cut our own gears. Thank you for your help
