A CVT is very, very nice, but one draw back. Sure, you can have a huge "gear selection" but their 1 drawback is their ability to hold torque. I'll assume for FIRST drill motors, FP motors, and others in our kit, it will be fine, but that is why you don't see more CVTs out there today. Their belts will slip under that high torque demand situtation!

I have tought of cone-shaped gears or so. I'll be working on that during the summer and see if i can get it to work w/o the weight and size that I am currently thinking of!!
