Re: Team 610 pre-season drivetrain

Very nice!
One speed 3 cim definitely has it's advantages, less parts weight and complexity. easier to predict when driving(less thinking about shifting/waiting for auto shift). At 10fps I can't see you guys popping a breaker unless you were REALLY trying, maybe a push fight against a 2cim shifter going at 6fps. I remember you guys browning out a few times last year at 9fps, is there any way you are looking to avoid these brownouts in the future?

This project probably started before vex did their unveiling. Now that the 3 cim ball shifter is available would you consider it as a replacement for your beloved single speed?
