None of this is untested, all we did was make the ballshifter the same black box more or less as our current designs.
What are the gears that you are using in the third stage, standard IFI ones? One of the possible issue's I noticed with IFI's third stage is that it sits below the bottom of the plastic housing from the previous two stages, causing an issue if you want to mount the housing to the bottom of a robot with very little clearance. I was thinking about changing up the gear ratio and was wondering if that is what you did.
