Go to Post I think applying Gracious Professionalism to strictly legal game play trivializes what is a much more important and fundamental FIRST concept. - jimfortytwo [more]

Roy,

Thanks for the offer. We might take you up on that. I was already considering doing a 6 CIM gearbox like that, with the VP shift shaft and delrin plates.

Thanks to everyone else for the ideas and comments. (Now I won't kill myself with toxic fumes.) While TechShop does have other much more appropriate machines for cutting gearbox plates, they currently aren't available to me. As a minor, I can't use most CNC tools, except for the laser cutter, and I was hoping not to have to have a mentor present to work on our summer project. Even if the machine doesn't work out for gearboxes, we can still use it for electronics boards, sprockets, pulleys, etc , as others have suggested.
