My team is using the kitbot and chassis as a test bed for the vision system.

We will be using the gears from the transmission for our drive, but not the rest. We are doing a six motor drive base this year and the kit transmission housing wasn't large enough to fit the third motor.

We were going to use the arm configuration of the transmission, but our design and packaging has led us down a different path.

Our objective for the kit transmission was to have a reliable, competitive drive transmission that could be assembled quickly and gave consistant performance. Our primary focus was to get the rookies (and lower resource teams) driving in their first match of their first regional.

I am a little bummed that we are not using the gearbox this year, but at least we are using components.

P.S. - I'm just curious, why are you asking?
