Building a gearbox / Attaching a motor?
OK, here's an embarrassingly basic question, embarrassingly late in the season - we have all these motors with round shafts sticking out of them, and realized that were not sure how to connect them to gearing, and then to wheels and other potentially spinnable things. Can anyone tell me how to build a gearbox and connect the motors to the gears, or, more likely, point me to a helpful resource that would give step-by-step directions? Are there ready-made parts available somewhere, since we have very limited machinery & tooling?

Pro safety tip: put a string through coil springs that is tied off securely on the robot frame. This will help prevent the spring from jumping out and killing an inspector if it snaps. - Ninja_Bait [more]
