Good grief how much does that transmission weigh? like 40#? we built one using the CIM (or whatever it is again) we have a high speed low tourque and low speed high tourque. it uses the CIM, aorund 10 1/4 inch gears and a pneumatic cylinder somewhere around 3" long. it only weighed aroung 8 pounds or less?

Your third motor would have been better off on you end effector anyways.

Suprisingly light actually, the gears are all lightened, the crossmembers are aluminum alloy, the box itself is made of ballistic lexan 3/16". The Bosch mount is aluminum. The final version is see through and really nice looking. It would be tough to pack this much power in a much lighter package and still stay robust.

What was the final weight of each?
