Re: pic: 379's transmission

Wow... 280 thats intense.... We are pushing around there, but in order to do so we had to do a serious friction increase project. Have you found out if you have any slipping going on or are you alright in that area? Other wise that is a SERIOUS gear system and looks great. We have a shifting mecognism that we think will really impress some people. But all in good time right . Other wise this looks like a great drivetrain that I am pretty sure will work very good. From experience I can say that being able to push 280 means pushing someone sideways wich translates into a HUGE advantage in the game. If you have designed this bot as a great bully bot then you did a great job! If you dident you still did a great job. One more question that I have to ask though is how fast does this drivetrain go? Usually with low gearing and not being able to shift you have high torque and low speed. Is the same true with your bot? Thanks, and I wish you and your team the best of luck at regionals.
