Assuming I am understanding things correctly, I like the shifting yolk and I also like the tri-lobe drive blocks.

Can I ask a question? How much "back lash" do you have in your shifter? What I mean is how much angular rotation does can your last gear make with the output shaft held fixed and the shifter engaged?

I am curious because your design seems to have only a small amount and Andy (and others) have advocated having quite a lot so that the "dogs" have more room to engage.

But, generally speaking. Well done.

P.S. I am guessing that it weighs just under 4 lbs each without the motors.
