Thoughts?
Looks very tough. All steel gears. Big ratio on the first stage, with a 32 DP bull gear and press-fit pinions. Compatibility with the AM14U chassis is a very big deal.

All the design trades indicate classic AM thinking: robustness is worth a little weight. About a pound heavier than a DS -- but this will be a good trade for many teams.

I only wish the release had coincided with my team's Summer/Fall projects.

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.
