Re: FRIST provided transmissions survey

We always use the transmissions given. and will for the foreseeable feature(unless I get a call from our treasurer saying he landed us a 30k+ sponsor). now that being said we do use the transmissions in an arangement thats not well 'common".

as far as what is better . . . well while I do see the educational benefit of designing your own. you also get the same benefit for designing other parts of the robot(arms, manipulators, pneumatics). so I would say if you want to make a custom tranny go for it . . but if you dont I dont think your at any big loss, nore if you do are you at any great advantage.
