We haven't showed them to AM (but I expect they'll see it here). They aren't bullet proof like the 2 speed, without proper code and additional sensors it is possible to lock them up.


Aaaaah! I think my head just exploded from looking at this awesomeness. You guys are great. This is super cool.

I thought Kaizen Blitz was working on something interesting, as I noticed they were buying a few extra parts... but I would not have guessed this.

For all of the people who think that selling off-the-shelf gearboxes stifles the engineering and creativity of FIRST teams ... phooey on you... look at 1276 and what they have done. Excellent job!!!
