Re: VEXPro 2014: After The Season

Single Reduction, Single speed gearbox (7:1)
6 CIMS!!! Overall an extremely simple gearbox that was quite reliable and did its job better than we thought. We became known for our drivetrain and won an Engineering Excellence award for it. Were glad we bought 2 extras, and never needed them.
Our only problems/complaints: 1) cover the sides of the gearbox. We created our own covers so that stuff wouldnt get into the exposed gearboxes 2) The hex collar would occasionally slip which would create slop but we could still drive with the gearboxes

Overall easy to deal with and they gained new customers from us.
