PicoBox Super Servo

The PicoBox gearboxes are designed specifically for FIRST Tech Challenge teams. These highly configurable gearboxes are a robust solution for teams to make fine adjustments to the output speed and torque of drivetrains, mechanisms and more. All PicoBox gearboxes are designed to work with other building systems that FIRST Tech Challenge teams are familiar with, because they are built to work around a base 16 mm center-to-center hole pattern. The flanges on the PicoBox gearboxes are reversible while maintaining a base 16 mm hole pattern. Additionally, all PicoBox gearboxes utilize the same overall plate style for both the input plate and output plate, allowing for different configurations such as mounting the servo and output shaft onto the same side of the gearbox.

The PicoBox Super Servo is a single reduction, single servo input gearbox that utilizes steel 32DP gears. This gearbox accepts one HiTec standard servo, Futaba standard servo, or any other standard servo as its input, and has a robust steel 6 mm D shaft for it's output. Both axles could be tied to their own output implements allowing for easy synchronized movements.

Gear Ratios:
The kit comes with 3 different gear ratio options, so that you can experiment and understand how changing the gear ratio affects the driving performance of the TileRunner.
45 Tooth and 35 Tooth gear combination yields a 1:0.78 overdrive
Two 40 Tooth gears yield a 1:1 ratio
35 Tooth and 45 Tooth gear combination yields a 1:1.28 reduction

Compatible Servos:
This gearbox does not include a servo, so you can install the right one for your application. We have tested and confirmed it works great with am-2587, am-2586, am-0010, and am-2543.
