pic: Quick-Change Motor Drive Module 1

What advantage does this yield over VersaPlanetaries?

Edit: I see other pics now. Thought the idea here was swap in different motors.

But why fix your gear ratio?

Yes, you have a good point. We already have a number of these worm gearboxes with a 10:1 gear ratio. If that doesn't fit our strategy in 2017 we'll need to add a chain or belt drive to adjust the final drive ratio.

Then our "quick-change drive module" is not so quick to change.
