I don't think that you used the 42mm gearboxes last year because they were not available last year. The 36mm gearbox was impressive for the price, but was not really up to the task of some of the heavier duty applications. I think the 42mm gearbox is a significant step up in terms of performance. Even so, I am not sure I would use them for driving my robot -- I may use them for an auxiliary drive system but my main drive is too important*.
