In my day job, I've used Harmonic Drive components (linked above) to construct durable test equipment, intended for many years of service. Their products are very good, and not cheap. Comparing them with competitive robotics parts from suppliers like BaneBots is not simply mixing apples & oranges, it's mixing cannonballs & oranges.
I do agree that the BaneBots gearbox will not survive long in this configuration, at the loads that a CIM motor can drive.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
