Re: Toughbox Torque
1. Thanks for the tip. I'll have to look into that.
2. For the win/fear factor. You got 4 gears you say? Well, we got 21, [exclamation here]. Ha. It's mostly for fun bragging/pimpin' our design to other teams/awards, but because of the huge differences between low and high gears, it'll allow us to choose extreme torque and keep a setting for decent, maybe 20 fps+ speed.
3. I have, but in terms of design, This is essentially continuous while being a COTS item. Plus, the possible friction losses appear to be higher than the chain design. (maybe)
