Re: Release Mechanism
Team Ri3D 1.0 used a one way drive quick release gearbox on our 3 day bot. We uploaded the cad for the gearbox here: http://www.robotin3days.com/ri3d-1-0...eting-gearbox/

Robby talks about it during the 3 day build here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWO9O...c4-overview-vl

We are also doing a sort of CAD tutorial on it's construction as we were pretty happy with it. That should be posted tonight.

There are other forms of release mechanisms but this design worked well for us.
