I agree completely. I didn't mean to insinuate that this design was close to finished, nor am I even positive it will be used on this year's bot. I'm just trying to get a head start on understanding all that's involved in designing a gearbox. If possible I'd like to build the box I'll have designed, and test it to see if it works close to the way I believed it would, but I am nowhere near deciding that this will be the final calculation.

I only intended to get a little more insight into the JVN calculation sheets, as well as the theory that went into them. There are certain variables (such as those mentioned above) that I have wondered about for a long time, and I'd like to learn what they are and how to make use of them.
