Andy,
Unfortunately, we never successfully used 45's transmission on one of our robots or prototypes. However, through our failures, we did learn. I'm confidant that neither the 2 gearboxes on our 2003 robot nor the 4 gearboxes on our 2004 robot would have been as successful without the knowlege and experience we gained from attempting 45's design.
Perhaps it is more accurate to say that we were inspired by 45's transmissions.
The Technkats entire team should receive recognition for their generosity. We all know that designs like these don't spring forth from the mind of a lone genious. The come from an infinite number of monkeys using an infinite number of CAD programs for an infinite amount of time!!
Three cheers for 45 and their monkeys!!
