Re: 3-motor transmissions

A 3 motor 3 position shifting transmission could be used for a number of things. The third motor could be shifted to a winch or roller pulley for example(power take off) and still have your main drive working. But if you needed the extra turbo power the transmission could shift the third motor to the drive train gear. Couple that with a electrically actuated disc brake and a over current protection sensor and we have something pretty darn cool.

I hope this years game is a racing game with full size robots climbing poles at end game aka minibot style
