Banebot Transmission Issues

It really is disconcerting to hear those chains rattling above your head. I think their effect was psychological more than anything else. - Greg Marra [more]

Yup, we just pulled apart a 36mm and noticed the same issue. Soft, thin plate, hard shaft going through it. It may not be as much of an issue with the less powerful Banebots motor, but it looks iffy.

Another issue with these gearboxes is that they use an unknown type of screw to hold the face plate on. We had to grind down slot screwdriver to make it fit. Frankly these transmissions seem like more trouble than they're worth. Definitely not as robust as we had hoped.
