I am becoming a fan of tube stock transmissions. Our robot included two of them this year, one for
shooting and one for
intake. Both used 775pro motors.
Thanks for posting this example using CIMs. We may try something similar, perhaps using 3x1. I also agree with those who favor 1/8" wall. Thinner walls make me worry about stress at the bearing seats and motor faces.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
