caffel is an unknown quantity at this point
There is a post in the FIRST forums which specifically allows the purchase & use of gearboxes.
This helps us because we have limited access to precision machining required to fabricate a transmission.
Prior to 2003, my understanding was the same as yours, that off the shelf assemblies could not be used unless they had the invoice marked "fabricated for team XXX' as part of the documentation.
Re: Atwood,
the repair part which includes the motor & gearbox costs more than the jack as a whole can be bought for on the internet and Atwood calls it a special order (read takes a long time to fill).
We haven't rec'd our jacks yet so we're still anxious to see which parts we can re-use. If we had it to do over, we'd just go ahead and use the new motor and fabricate a transmission, somehow. We do not have the cluster gears from last year to work with.
