Re: Who is using the kitbot?

Something that hasn't really been talked about much...

One of my favorite features of the kitbot is the "Stackable" nature of the transmissions. That is, you can combine both transmissions to form a "double reduction" gearbox.

All involved in the design agreed that in the interest of providing a versatile kit item that all teams can use, we should make the transmissions useable in other applications.

These transmissions can be used to provide a high efficiency, robust gearbox with high reduction to drive an arm or other mechanism.
