Re: Crazy Drive Train Ideas
The pneumatic cyllinder feasibility problem appeared simpler to me when I thought about it a few months ago. Simply add it in as a "turbo boost" to an existing drive train via a 1-way clutch or paulet system. Linking the two rear drive train axles together with 1 shaft (or 2 shafts + differential) would easily allow for this functionality.
Once implemented, we can analyze the weight: it's about ~15lbs extra, just for a brief turbo boost once or twice in a match. YMMV, but it wasn't worth it for me to investigate further.
