Re: FIRST provided transmissions survey
Our team has done it all.

We've built our own, used the kit ones, used AM's, or bought pre-assembled gearboxes from other companies.

And guess what? It hasn't made a big difference! The success of our robots has depended more on the scoring mechanism than on the drivetrain.

IMO a good drivetrain is reliable, light, and gets the robot where it needs to go.

We used the AM shifters last year and they worked really well. Thats probably what we'll be sticking with.
