We're an electric team, and this year we are going to use two motors with each a gearbox on it. The question is: do we need a separate catch can for each gearbox, or can we combine one for the two gearboxes?

Well since there isn't a specification for them in the rules, I think it would likely be fine to combine the two of them. It depends on if you feel that your catch can(s) will be sufficient for the amount of oil that would be coming out of the gearbox(es).

Make sure to check the rules or contact the comity. I want to say you can use one for both. On the IC cars we just have to have one for coolant, and oil, id doesn't specify one per engine etc. Make sure it fits the rules on capacity too.
