Go to Post I firmly believe that - those [GDC] committee members I have met, even briefly, certainly have a passion for what they are doing and want to give teams and students the best possible experiences. - GaryVoshol [more]

Low gear, we're LOCKED in low. I still can't figure out why but the shifting gearboxes that gave us absolutely no trouble during 2 weeks of hard practice started poping out of gear at KSC, even rebuilt ones! Besides, shifting does not seem to be all that beneficial this year. The distances you drive without stopping or turning are pretty short. The few seconds you gain getting from the ramp to the endzone you lose waiting for the trannies to shift. We should be running right about your speed at 5ft/sec.

As to next year, unless they open back up the gears and sprockets we're going to have to get pretty creative to build a light, small custom shifting gearbox from SPI parts. I don't think we could have handled the weight of one this year.

As far picking, to date we have only been pickEES. I am very grateful teams these last 2 years have picked us. I can only aspire to one day being a pickER. Perhaps that's an odd title to aspire to.
