The man to ask is Dr. Joe Johnson. He was heavily involved in the design of the 56mm gearboxes. As much as I know of Dr. Joe, I'm guessing that he is willing to bet his life on them.

Re: Is the 2006 Gearbox allowed?

I have a question for the whole gearbox situation.
Is the gearbox previously mentioned, http://www.andymark.biz/am-0011.html ,
legal for this years competition?
And with regards to the Banebot gearbox, some in my team think that it's not strong enough to be used in the drivetrain.
Any tips would be great. Thanks

Yes, the AndyMark gearbox is legal. As for the BaneBots gearbox, I'm pretty sure that, as jgannon mentioned, with Dr. Joe aiding in the design, they can be trusted to hold up. I'd be more worried about efficiency, remember that this is a two stage planetary gearbox, not a two stage spur gearbox, and don't design expecting 98% efficient stages.
