Re: Worn Shifting Dogs
We've been using this type of shifting (the "dog"-style) over the past two years on FIRST robots and have not had one iota of problems in that area.

This style of shifting was not invented by us... these dog engagement gears are frequently used in motorcycle racing transmissions. The benefit with this sort of gear switching is that there is no clutch needed.
