Go to Post Look at the success of the Banebot's gearboxes this year. Cheap, light, small, and a lot of people are using them, even though their quality may be a bit questionable... Make a similar gearbox for a drivetrain (with a bit more robustness) and I think you've got a winner. - Ben Piecuch [more]

The are controlled on VEX robots by either directly plugging these into the 2-wire motor ports on the VEX Cortex controller, or by using the Motor Controller 29 (which functions just like a miniature Victor) plugged into a PWM port.
I see. The one we tested must have been an old one we had lying around from a VEX kit somewhere (it worked straight off the sidecar). Good to know these are different.
