5310 rpm (1/36) = about 147.5 rpm output (not including efficiency, etc).

No need to go that fast for most applications.

Nice looking gearbox!

I have suggestion: the two 15:45 reduction clusters are not, strictly speaking, good design practice. Any one 1 tooth on the 15 tooth gear will contact the same 3 teeth on the 45 tooth gear. This isn't good for gear life and long-term efficiency. Using a 44 or 46 tooth gear instead of a 45 would result in more even gear wear.

Of course this probably isn't a big deal for FRC given the short lifespan of most parts and your intended low-load application.
