Our Drive system:
1 CIM w/ 10t sprocket to 40t sprocket on jack shaft.
2 10 t sprockets going to 40t sprockets off jack shaft. 40t sprockets mounted to 8" wheels.
Maybe I'm off, but I'm not too sure. Anyway, we'll be using a similar wheel chain system, with the same gearing.
I'm still working on the animation, but if you want you can try some sample input yourselves!
Just download the Crab Input Simulator Program I created here:

Now, I'm still working on it. It runs under dos, just to warn you.
(That's what you get for proggin' Qbasic for 10 years )
Anyway, It's only version 1. I've already got v2 in the works, with an actual "Wheel" instead of triangles to show how the system works.
I'm also zooming in the input window so the 127-90 values aren't lost as the same speed, and I'm working on a buffer system that detects rapid changes in speed/direction and buffers the change down, so It won't be so harsh.
I'm also trying to find a good spot to upload the video. Right now, our team is running off a yahoo group while the website's being worked on, and you can't access our files without being a member.
I might just encode it as an animated GIF, or post it in the white papers. I'll need to really crunch on compression though...
Anyway, I'll post back when It's done.
