Re: Gear Boxes

During the off season we spent time working on drive systems where our focus was on different wheels and different programs but using the same basic gear boxes. We even purchased a wide variety of wheels even though FIRST emailed all the teams about buying equipment before knowing the game.

Sadly all of our work goes to the back burner until (maybe) next year.

I do agree that the KoP gear boxes would do the job. For the team it is more the space 4 gear boxes take up along with the orientation. For me personaly I want to just try something different and see where it goes. Even if we have to throw out the idea and bolt on the KoP boxes in the end.
