Go to Post I think it's pretty cool that the Black Eyed Peas and other celebrities are willing to take up their time to come celebrate science and technology with us. - BIGWILLI2081 [more]

Re: Building a gearbox / Attaching a motor?

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?
One site will help you with almost everything (or two sites)

Andymark.com has all kinds of gear boxes and other robotics things. They are a sponsor of FIRST.

Also the banebot motors you will have to use their gear boxes banebots.com (andymark only has a few that would work with these motors)

Because you are a rookie team i STRONGLY do not recommend attempting to make your own gear box. My team has been around for 11 years and we still dont make our own gear boxes.
