we also had to drill holes in one bigger, and the other didn't even have them.

We got one that didn't have holes either. The one that did come with holes has the extrusion that interferes with the bolt path, so you can't assemble it without filing both holes in the lexan and outer plate.

I never had any problem whatsoever with the BaneBots transmissions last year. Assembly, testing, and competition. We never had to touch them after they were mounted. I've had to drill, sand, scrape, and file the crap out of these gearboxes just to get them to go together. One of them even came with tons of burred edges, metal filings, and cutting oil on various parts, including the gears. I'm not sure how they're producing these things but maybe they should find a better source. They are a very robust design, but seem to be lower quality than what I would expect from AM. The 05 and 06 gearboxes were huge and heavier than these, but at least they went together without any problems. Hopefully these hold up to the competition season.
