we have been exploring this possibility. I think itll be our big project for this off season.

Another solution would be to adapt the 2 speed from a 1/5 or 1/8 RC 2 speed transmission.

thanks for the links, but we purchased a few shifters from Andy Mark this year...and im not impressed at all...maybe my standards are a bit high(who knows)...we are looking to design our own next year but having trouble finding someone who sells dog gears:mad:

I'm curious what you're not impressed about? We never buy shifters from AndyMark, but our robots always use a boatload of their products and pretty much everything they sell is a good value compared to us making it ourselves.

What troubles you with them?

If you're servo shifting, "well there's your problem". Pneumatic shifting is the way to go. Most complaints I've heard about the gearbox are that they don't shift well enough without pneumatics.

I'm curious too, AndyMark is our first stop for just about any sort of gearing, and we've ran their shifters (pneumatic) on many of our robots with no complaints about reliability.
