Are the specifications for the transmission avaliable?

I guess the question is, would you have replacement parts available on request?

Your point about costing the standard parts on the team's BOM is great. If team 45 uses AndyMark components, they will be noted at cost in the BOM.

We are working on specifications and prices. Within two weeks (the end of August) we plan to have this information on our webpage.

As for replacement parts, we will have them available to order on the website. We will do our best to create a fair warranty plan.
