Do I detect a worm gear =O My guess it's for elevating the robot?
Plenty of power to lift maybe two robots at the tower? What is the reduction ratio - about 144:1? I'd be a little concerned about the OD of the output shaft.:)
That looks like a dog shifter not an output shaft.

My guess: this is not part of a lifting mechanism.
Hmm, what might you want a lot of torque to draw back, yet can't backdrive until you pop out a clutch?

Good job. :D
This is the transmission for our kicker.
The tricky part was getting a dog gear that fit the worm gear, so we had one of our mentors custom machine one out for us.

Custom machining a worm gear? Win.

Sorry, I meant the dog gear, not the worm gear, still pretty cool though.

What are you using to make your kicker spring loaded? how long does it take for the kicker to reset?

Very nice! I wish my team had the ability to machine a custom gearbox like that. I hope you'll be at the Saint Francis pre-ship scrimmage so I can get a chance to see it in person!

Yes we should, things are moving more quickly than last year and we're excited to show off what we've been working on in a few weeks.
