Mike,
There are 2 comparable shift on the fly systems sitting in Colonie HS. Check out the Shen 1997, 2000, 2001 and 2002 robots. It's not overly difficult to add a 2-motor combiner to one of these. Believe it or not, 250 has much of this technology in the closet.... literally.



Andy,
Great paper, the reliablility of your "dog shifter" design is certainly making me re-think my "pin shifter" design. We (229 drivetrain guys) are definitely going to have to sit down in the fall and decide what direction we're heading in next. It's amazing for me to think that because of your posts, whitepapers and work, you've had a similar (catalyst) effect on teams across the country. You always help raise the bar!

So what's next for 2004?

Thanks Again,
Your team's openess is an inspiration to us all,

John
