Re: "Transmission Design Assistant"
There's a link on the spreadsheet for a "Read Me" file, but no such thing was included -- so it's hard to know if I am using the spreadsheet correctly. That said, it seem a bit simplistic in its representation of drivetrain design and offers little flexibility for varied designs.
As best as I can tell, it does not allow for the user to independently change multiple reduction stages within a gearbox. It also lacks any information at all about torque output. It's good to know how fast your robot is going to move, though it's more important to know if it'll move at all.
If this is simply an early iteration of the design, it may be wiser to wait until there's considerably more functionality before asking us to validate it.
