Yeah, I'm glad I found this tread, it has a lot of good information, but I have worked on a design and have finished it today! But there are a few problems, I haven't been able to decide a way to make the planet gears to stop when I need them to, but I have a pretty good idea of how it should work, and it also relies a good amount on making the ring gear rotate by friction, because at some points you must let the planets rotate freely and such. The biggest problem is that one motor must overcome the resistance put forth from it's opposing sun gear, this could cause problems in the electrical system. But the two sun gears are where the power comes from, and then transfered to the planet gears, and then to the ring gear. The ring gear is the gear that will be attached to the rest of the drive system. I'll post the link as so as I get it uploaded.
