1114's KoS is essentially 6wd, 6in plactions, with toughboxes or Supershifters from AM. We used it in 2011 and loved the power it had over other robots. I feel like yours takes it to another level of steroids. It reminds me a lot of 2056's 2008 drivebase which I have been looking at a lot this off-season. http://www.2056.ca/photos.php?id=197...7440&offset=25

Are there any major differences in the supershifters over regular shifters?
Is there a reason for the double tensioners on the front chain run?
Any closer pics of the tensioner assembly?
Do you have an estimated speed?

Looks very clean simple! I love the simple mounting for the transmissions as that is my one peeve with COTS transmissions is getting them secured and still remain easy to work on!
