Thanks for the props Veselin. We put a good chunk of the 6 weeks into those due to build member losses and we are very proud of them and the entire drive train.
Mechanicalbrain.. if your are referring to our trannies in your most recent post, we made them. They were a design adopted from a 70's Hodaka motorcycle. The 2004 whitepaper can be found
here.
A picture of this years trannies can be found
here with a list of differences from the 04 to the 05 design.

//Its kind of off topic but I really really needed to say thanks to some people on my team.
I can't talk about the transmissions this year without mentioning Cliff Mock and Brad Rigdon. With our team's personnel loss in mentors other than themselves, and lack of interest in students Cliff and Brad had their plates full. They really inspired the students we had and lead us students through the build of robot especially the transmissions. Most impressively they never took over build. It was always an even mix of work between the students and mentors like Cliff and Brad. For that, being one of the students, I thank Cliff Brad and all of the mentors on team 222.
