We loved the old 36mm BaneBots gearboxes and used them on nearly every robot we built from 2006 to 2012. They were lightweight and inexpensive and worked great for light high-speed loads. We only stopped using them because they stopped being manufactured -- if we had enough spare parts for them, we'd still be using them, as we really haven't found a replacement for their specific niche.

I think that is important to note that winning teams have won without bending the rules. GP allows you to go ask, investigate and take pictures. Learn from others when you have the chance. - Al Skierkiewicz [more]
