how much does that drive system weigh?
one idea our team had was rather than using the gearbox first provides us with (which is far too heavy) design out own CVT (continuously variable transimission) similar to that used in a snowmobile. It would do two things, it would be lighter, and also it would give us torque when we need it and speed when we dont. im just wondering how much weight it took up to do this type of a drive system if you used the gearboxes. thanks
