Take a look at some these and see how they compare to the window motors. Speed? power?

The above are just gearboxes with different reductions. They're kinda like toughboxes with 2 cims, but they are with 2 fisher prices. As for the actual specs of the motors, I'd have to look that up.

Sunny, I think I want to take the shifter apart again. I want to make sure the large gear where we lastly removed the washer is not rubbing on the side plate causing some friction. I think the sprocket has an offset on the other side to prevent.

Also, we need to take one of the new toughboxes apart as it appears to have a failure.

We can do this first thing Saturday.

After this, we will need to cut/drill the 80-20 for the kicker on Tanner's bot.

Was Kapp being serious on me having to shift the gearboxes? I don't think we could shift them further away without rerouting the chains around the bump.

I never heard anything about this, so I'm not sure. Depending on the clearance between the bump and the bottom of the bot, and how we mount the kicker, the gearboxes *might* be alright.

We will make the cuts first, I can look at the boxes in slack time.
