Anyone else have this?

Nothing is worse than taking time to design a mount, fabricating it, getting it ready to put on your banebot 36mm gearbox just to find out that the thing doesn't even fit properly. First thing that comes to mind is that you screwed up...well not this time...the gearbox has 8 mounting holes, 2 on each side of the gearbox, 4 of them different from the other 4. Turns out the distance between the lower two holes (let's call them lower if looking straight at the gearbox) is different from the upper ones. It is noticeable with the human eye. A bit sad. Any one else have this? look carefully.

Four of the mounting holes are for mounting the Banebots encoder to the gearbox (two for the encoder board, and two for the cover), and the other four are presumably for mounting the gearbox to a plate or something. Looks like you designed around the wrong set of holes. Bummer, dude.

designed around the larger ones, didnt find the right thread for it, tried the smaller ones, they are the ones differently spaced...so are you saying everyone's is like that?

[jgannon]

As far as I know, yes. I didn't inspect the holes on our gearbox. However, we just installed our encoder today, and I noticed there was a slight difference in the spacing of the holes on the two different parts of the encoder assembly. Since it all fit together very nicely, I can only assume that the holes on the gearbox must also have been spaced differently.

except on the inventor file from firstcadlibrary they are spaced evenly. I think it's pointless making them differ in spacing so little yet enough to limit what you can do with it...I'm sure the encoder has enough space for equadrilled holes
