Re: Gear Boxes

This year is kind of funny. In the off-season, the mechanical team played around with the Dewalt shifting transmissions (there's a white paper on here somewhere for those), since being able to shift last year would have helped a lot. Now they announce the game and we say "hmmmm.... shifting transmissions don't seem to be so important this year." So this year our gearboxes will pretty much be determined by space constraints. Some gear boxes, like the Dewalt's, are longer but narrower, while the KoP gear boxes are much shorter and wider. Which one fits better within the size constraints? I'm just a lowly programmer, so don't ask me! Other than that, i don't think i can say much, or the team members will hit me tonight for giving away team secrets.
