Re: NuVinci CVT Developers Kit

I got to see this at the makers faire and while it is a cool technology it is very inefficient. They wouldn't tell me the exact amounts but hinted it was not good. Also the ratio range was 3:1 so it would be just a little more then an andymark from top to bottom. I think it would be cool to play with one of these but putting it on a robot doesn't make any sense.
