I must say these look extremely professional, and quite functional. I am rather impressed. My only *constructive* criticism is that these look really weighty.

LIGHT!!!! ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND!!! Those side plates are freaking ridiculous. There seems to be a trend of this among FIRST teams. There is honestly no reason to make side plates any thicker than about an 1/8" maybie 3/16" if they are directly supporting wheels. Check out the kit gearbox, many of the team 45 gearboxes, the andymark gearboxes etc. Last year our gearboxes were made from 3/16" plate and looking back even that was overkill.
One question: It would appear as if this is a two-speed box. How does the shifting mechanism work and is it plastic?
