^agreed. I was just kinda curious. Is acceleration with a CVT competitive or any better than acceleration with say just a regular automatic transmission. I am not going to sit here and argue about the innovation and coolness or whatever about his design and whether or not a robot with it deservs an award, but I mean a CVT is just flat out awesome to me. How can you make something better if you never make it in the 1st place to develop it.
Here is a link that someone on my team found that has tons of differnt CVT's.
