Banebot 56mm transmissions are Available

Does anyone know if Banebots will be selling the hardened carrier plates with the correct length pins and proper holes separately? It is my understanding that the plate currently on their website for $10 has problems with the length of the pins and the diameter of the pin holes. Is this correct?

While teams can try to modify the existing plates from Banebots doesn't this seem like not the most straight forward way to go? If a team has the CNC machines to fix/make their own plates then fine but it would seem to me that a lot of teams don't have this capability. I would think that if you had the capability to fix/make the plate you would less likely be using the Banebots gearboxes in the first place and were more likely make your own. The teams that need this the most are those that probably don't have the ability to make thier own gearboxes and therefor used the Banebots to start with and thus probably don't have the CNC equipment to fix/make their own replacement plates. From my understanding of the Banebots problems I would think that teams would rather spend $10 on a hardened replacement carrier plate with the correct pins and holes than a whole new $90 gearbox. If the new gearboxes shipping from Banebots have the correct plates with all the problems fixed can we not just buy the correct ones from them for about $10 each?
