While I love the idea of continuously variable transmissions, in practice, I have never seen one that is robust enough, cheap enough and small enough to make sense on a FIRST robot.

Translation: Nick - if you have an idea for designing a continiously variable transmission, and its something you invented yourself
then you should reconsider posting it on a website
You may have invented something extreemly valuable (that could be patented) in which case, if you post it on here, or disclose it anywhere before its patented, you just gave your idea away for FREE!
If you are using principles for a CVT that you got from someone else (another team, a website...) then go ahead and post your ideas.
