Re: Section 8.3.3 Illegal Gearboxes and Chassis
The only problem with <R24> is that if you designed and fabricated before kickoff than they cannot be used, only unmodified COTS.

Paul, last year's KOP gearboxes are not available to all teams this year so it is illegal under 8.2 Definition for COTS.

Until FIRST changes its mind I will designing a new dual speed gearbox for the Banebot transmission. I welcome everyone to come see our robot, it will be designed and built under these rules. You can bet I will not be making any detailed drawings and will not be posting a White Paper on this gearbox.
