It certainly sounds like it would work fine on our robots from what the company is putting out there about them.

They are also making the argument that it will shift better and faster than standard geared transmissions. I believe the problem with the slowness or slack that you felt in the automotive CVT is from not only a different design but also its computer controls, A computer adjusts how it shifts and the ones in those cars are designed for smoothness not for power.
