transmissions very handy
In my eight years we've yet to try a multi-speed transmission......but I'd love to try.
We've designed our machines to be mostly offensive in the past.(we don't usually concern ourselves with torque because we try to avoid the hard pushing match-ups). This year was especially hard for us because we are using every motor and all the pneumatics........we don't use the drill transmissions so servo mounted gear switching is probably out of the question. I love the CVT...that would be a great project, but for reliability sake, I'd probably just duplicate one of the three systems already developed by ultra-seasoned teams like 45.(their on-the-fly tranny was super sweet last year.) Good luck to all those ramp bots this year, we'll see you under the bar! |
