CVT - continuously variable transmission.

See http://www.andersoncvt.com/ for a pretty slick variation. I'm not sure if I found this site by poking around or if someone linked to it in a post on CD. It looks good but seems fairly large. For FIRST applications you would have to scale the design down enough to make it practical yet keep it as large as necessary to be robust.

Lots of awesome input! I love how these boards work for all of us!!

Thanks all!
