Summer VEX Projects?
Well summer is coming up again in a month or two, and I know a number of people had some fun prototyping with VEX last year, so, what's everyone's plans for VEX summer projects this year? It doesn't have to be related to FVC, just involving VEX parts.
After the fun I had last summer making a 2-speed transmission, I've decided I'd like to take a stab at an even better one this year, and I've come up with both a compact shaft based design and a better meshing dog gear design that I'd like to try. I have to ask; did any FVC teams this year even consider a 2-speed for actual competition? I think I can make them VEX legal, but I'm not sure if teams really have an interest in them.
