Thanks

My intention is to publish the CAD model of the gearbox on FRC designs sometime soon after build.
I will also be releasing a write up about the design process as well as the choices I made and the reasoning behind them.

Another note on the Gearbox. It was originally designed in the spring/summer of last year and two prototypes were made in the fall. It was then refined and modified for the 2012 FRC season.

I did all of the design work on it and everything but the dust shield was manufactured by myself or other fellow students on our team, a large portion of which was done on our CNC mill.

By the way how did you hob the worm wheel?

If you mean how did we cut the worm gear the answer is we didn't. Both the worm and worm gear were purchased from Motion Industries but they are also available from sdp-si.
