Re: pic: Double-Trouble Shuffle

I do not believe the student that ran the numbers accounted for the loss in the different stages, but I will ask. The real issues is the spread between the gears under the weight with the lever arms. I am somewhat concerned that there will be so much between the teeth, that somehow, they will disengage. The side plates are Lexan, 3/8th inch to be exact. We were talking about using aluminum side plates, but to achieve the weight and the bearings fit at the correct depth we would weigh more than I think allowed. We are cutting it close, very close. We will see what these students come up with.
