Ditch the clutches, and replace with a longer axle. That's usually how we do it... I dislike the clutches, so I use a longer axle and put a ... uh I don't know the technical term, one of the axle locks? I guess. in it's place. Works good, and no stripping of the plastic possible.

I'm trying to follow how this works... looks sweet (this and the other picture). I wanna see it in person.

i assume you mean shaft collar? yeah, thats what i do most of the time, except on the drive train. but i'll do that. if anyone else has an opion on the clutches, let me know.

i'll try to get a better picture so you can see the drive.

Could we get as many pictures of two speed robots as we can? I would like to look into this in case we might need it for next year. I just need a better understanding of the mechanics of it.
