AM FP Gearbox...feedback?
Last night we had our robot together, nearly 100%. However, the dual 64:1 FP 42mm gearboxes didn't have quite enough torque to lift our manipulator, it's pushing about 30lbs. This is without the claw and additional chain so lets say a safe 40lbs max (this is before shedding weight - we might be replacing the 80/20 1515 for 1515 lite). The 256:1 gearboxes are sold out, and wont be back for this FIRST season.
So this brings me to the AM FP Planetary gearbox. I did some searching but I was wondering if anbody had some feedback concerning my application. Also if someone could recommend another motor, or idea that would great, we are sort of stuck right now.
Thanks
