CVT stands for Constantly Variable Transmission. In the pre-season of 2000, a few technokats were bragging about the CVT that one of their engineers developed. It was supposed to help them get to the far wall faster than anyone else. It didn't get implemented in that year's robot, though, but they said watch for it in 2001.
I talked to Andy Baker about it, this year and he said that there were to many frictional losses to make it practical.
If the search of the old forums was working I could point you to the threads discussing it, which explain a lot more about it.
