A custom 2-speed gearbox? What could be better than the AM's? Although, I think I spy TWO small pneumatics on your shifting drive gearbox. Could you give us a little insight into the reason for the 2nd? (Possibly a brake?) And, a little insight into this specific gearbox?

As always, a quality robot from 45. Can't wait to see some video, and that 11th iteration grabber.

There may be a trick or two not shown in the pic, but this is the heart of the beast. Yes, there are two pneumatics in the gearbox, one for shift and a magical one. Basically, its very similar to the AM shifter specs, just a few changes, I believe.

We had some near horrific damages done to the robot due to the new radios cutting in and out, and losing total control of it. The 06 radios worked perfectly for testing, I believe the 06 radio was taken off before we shipped.
