-Lightweight gearboxes with heavy lightening (like WCP gearboxes)
-Integrating shifter shafts into custom gearbox plates
-Over-center linkage (sort of like a toggle clamp) or other locking linkages.
-Circlips and E-clips
-Chain-in-tube designs
-Intakes for balls

We're not entirely sure what we'll be using to cover those topics.
If you want experience with a lot of these, I would suggest building something Octocanum. As for the ball element, anything could happen (although I would recommend entraption stars or roller intakes)
