I thought they were different material for traction on the carpet and ramp, but then they were used on both. Very interesting idea.
116 designed a 2-speed transmission that can shift on the fly, and be built with limited shop capability. It is clutch less, but not extensively tested in competition.
This is from 2002, so note that the drill motor is different from this year. It was updated for the new drill motor, but no white page as yet.
