Re: FRC Mechanical Design Calculator (By Dillon Carey and Aren Hill)

Awesome job. I think there are some improvements that could be made to the available power transmission components. I realize with Aren's involvement, it's going to be Vex-biased, but there are quite a few AndyMark gears not shown (particularly some of the odd-toothed gears), which can be useful for getting just the right reduction you're looking for. It would also be useful to include dog gears and ball-shifting gears as well.

Also, the motor spec for some of the motors use the published specs rather than the tested specs.
