Re: Master Gearbox's

330 and 1135 use AndyMark. 330 uses the Gen 2 shifter, pneumatic, while 1135 used the Toughbox last year.

330: 2 CIMs, 6WD, not sure of speed, no gearbox problems have ever taken them out of a match. (Chain problems have only done that twice in the last 6 regionals/championship.)


1135: 1CIM, 4 toughboxes, mecanum drive, too slow (our fault--I should have had the team switch the Toubox output sprocket with the wheel sprocket, or something like that.) No gearbox issues.

Pros: Unless a rule changes, guaranteed legal, very reliable, and easily repairable if you do somehow break one. Also good tech support.

Cons: A little pricey, but it's comparable to doing it yourself. So that evens out.
