Re: pic: Inverted CIM 2-Speed Gearbox

I'm not crazy about the tiny idler gear - seems like it'd wear very quickly and as a result become a detriment to efficiency as the season went on. Is that the largest gear you can get for that initial stage?

More and more I find myself learning from the masters in School B for certain games. 2011/12 would more have a School A thought - the field was congested or blocked and objectives needed slow/meticulous movements. 2013/14 required much less precision in control (so long as the intake made up for margin of error) so School B would have dominated.

As a result
- School A needs the best high-traction treads available to maximise performance in the situations the design is made for.
- School B needs tread that WILL slip under enough torque so as to not trip the breakers. Colsons fit that spec nicely, imo.
