Re: Dewalt transmissions

I also would have to chime in that the DeWalts are awesome. my team had a little trouble with machining the sun gear if i recall correctly, since they are rather hard, but we got it done. the only other issue we had was when we pressed the sun gear onto the CIM, on one of our motors we ended up pushing the shaft in the CIM and fractured the armature. not exactly a cheap mistake, but we lived.

once they were put together and everything was programed they were awesome. we were a rookie team last year, and, thanks to a lot of great expertise on board we didn't have a whole lot of trouble with them. i'm quite sure we'll be using them again this year also in all likelihood.
