Re: Modifying Vexpro Ball Shifter transmissions
Absolutely, leaks in general can be fixed. The only issue is that the solution to the problem is active, such that it can be applied in the event of a leak. As everyone knows, pneumatic systems pop; It is inevitable. I have thought about the spring/elastic solution but the one drawback is that regardless of what is modified, it is subject to the conditions within the gearbox. I am thinking that the fix (if internal, which I currently favor) should be subjected to a long term test. Perhaps a pre-Prototype phase.
I did see that the transmissions came with a servo option (has anyone used it?) - I just find that I am not quite in love with servo functionality in general. And is anyone considering other transmission options?
Pardon the "loose" earlier.
I would like to hear a bit more about neutral being a feature. I can only imagine it being used in one paradigm.
