Ok, I think this teaser has run its course.

The gearbox was built by Cory and his uncle for a "Barbie car" design they have been experimenting with. It can carry a pre-k child ~50lb. The front wheels steer and they've tried several combinations of all-wheel drive, by using 1 and 2 of these gear boxes. Cory tells me he powered it with a "big" RC car motor. The car is currently torn down and is one of his "once-in-a-while" projects. Why 12 speeds?...ah heck...why not?
