Worm Gears

Team 1089 is planning to use a gearbox that uses worm gears to acheive a sufficient reduction. Here is an inventor design of the gears we are planning to use...



We plan to mount the motor to the worm, and a wheel to the gear.
Has any team here attempted to use a worm gear system for their drive train before ? How well did the gearbox work?
