Re: pic: CVT drivetrain

basically i would need a company that can make the gear to sponcer us to get these into first (i need four). even if they are given to us and counted as a tax right (i love being a nonprofit org) off it would still need to go into the budget and one of them could take up most of the budget. each gear would have to be cut from a block of aluminum. i have a way I'm sure i can run it off one servo. and what would be the point of giving up i would only be guaranteed failure. i like this design because gears are more reliable than chain. (please no personal stories it my opinion and i in no way claim it as a fact) besides a couple years back if you had said half the things we do now to anyone they would say its impractical or not even possible and yet we manage to get this far on stubbornness (and i say stubbornness because genius can only give man wings not teach him to fly). no smart retorts on that last line!
