I also fourth the AM recommendation. I just found a local machine shop who may be able to do custom gearboxes for us in future years but until we reach a deal in coming months, we plan on sticking with AM shifting gearboxes. The problem we had this year was an error on our part and the AM rep in Atlanta stuck with us until we found the issue.

Great parts, even greater people.
I would ask that shop to make other parts for the robot you can not buy rather than gearboxes you can get from AM.
