mjt902 is an unknown quantity at this point
for fun and boredom

A friend and I are on team 902. We're wanting to spend the rest of the school year working on a sweeeet transmission for our robot next year. We want maybe a 5 speed stick shift with the steering wheel, gas (not actual gas) and brake pedal system. I think i can figure out the gas and brake, the steering will come to me eventually, and even the control system for an automatic/manual stick shift doesn't seem that far out of my scope. However, the delimma comes when we actually want to build the clutch system for the shifting.

The teams that 'shifted' in this year's competition had to stop and then manually shift into another gear, thereby bypassing the necessity for any clutch system.

What we want to do is more like a car, but we simply don't have the knowledge, nor the resourses to do so. We would like to make the decision as to whether we want to have lots of torque (like our last robot) or be dangerously fast (if the game should require a fast bot). There's a friend who can get me the gears, so the clutch system is all that stands in our way.

The building process as not stated yet, so if anyone has any wild or even retarded ideas, please share. I've got oodles of time on my hands and can't wait to start another robotics project.

Lastly, I wanna say: BIANCA!!
