Re: New AndyMark Shifters!

Looks great. We're going to try to implement such a system on our custom gearboxes, so I have a couple performance questions:
-How long does it take to shift? (and what is the throw in that time period?-ours needs about 1 1/2" travel in as little time as possible)
-I don't know a lot about servos, so could a longer arm on the servo be used to decrease shift time? Would the servo be strong enough?
-How long could said arm be before the servo wouldn't have enough power to shift? Thanks. -JH
