While we are still in the exploration period where we try out different prototypes, we are certainly considering this gear shifting setup as one of this year's option. We already have a student build a model of it, and it seems quite promising. The we use HDPE block for the part where the servo actually pushes, and it seems quite smooth. We just need to test it under stress and see if its reaction. The only issue we have to think about is if this device will hold the gear setting during competition... otherwise we are going to use a ring to lock the gear in place, and use some other way of shifting external gears to select between torque or speed, that is if we feels that's necessary for our robot to do well.

As for the motor mount, the paper of Andy baker didn't include a way of mounting the motor body, so we probably will use our own again. one thing for sure is that we take the drive train extreemly serious this year, and lots of modification to implement to the whole setup including new way of mounting sprockets as well as Dr. Joe's output shaft and a more efficient drive train system. Be prepare for a unbreakable drive train from us...
