Modding AM14U3 for WCP DS Gearboxes
Recently became part of a newly-formed FRC team, and I'm wondering if it is practical to mod the AM14U3 to be able to mount WCP DS gearboxes. I've looked over the CAD of the chassis, and it appears to be quite doable with the resources we currently have. In addition, it also looks like the ToughBox gearboxes that come with the chassis will still be compatible with the chassis after the modifications.
However, these gearboxes don't come cheap; are the benefits of the WCP DS gearboxes worth the $600, or could we possibly use that money for something more worthwhile? Note that this really depends on the funds we we'll have coming into the build season. If we can't afford to spend money on the gearboxes, then obviously we'll scrap this idea, but if we do have the budget to purchase them, then what would be the best option?
