New AndyMark Gearbox

[jdaming]

Did Andymark release the name/details of their new gearbox? A naming contest and short description were given here http://www.andymark.com/Name-our-Gearbox-s/454.htm

It said they were revealing it at Championships.

I've seen the new shifter and it is similar to the super shifter but it is lighter I believe.

did you see it at champs or somewhere online, and do you know what they are going to call it

Since you're on 45 I assume you have some insight that most of us wouldn't, but are the ratios similar/identical to what the SuperShifter provides?

I, for one, hope it's simply called "The Shifter"

One shifter to rule them all, One shifter to find them,
One shifter to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Indiana where AndyMark lies."

Evidently it was on display at the Andy Mark booth all throughout Champs, and is called a "Sonic Shifter". Source - Andrew Lawrence's Facebook, specifically a comment from Andy Baker.

On the more serious side, Thanks a bunch to Andy for the quick response, and I myself cannot wait to see (and possibly use) the new shifter.

seconded. I can't wait to get my hands of 4 of those...

Does anyone know how it's servo shifting compares to the supershifters'?

[Arpan]

I'd be very interested to hear a firsthand account from someone who saw this. I'm personally wondering if it takes 6 CIMs.

The one I saw didn't but you may be able to order a different plate that could have 3.

I saw it on their table and it didn't appear to have the ability to mount 3 CIMs although I may be mistaken.

I saw it at the booth but it is comparable to the super shifter in size and shape but lighter and servo shifting may or may not be available

It does not.

They had the pneumatic shifting set up at the table and it worked well. Hopefully, we can use it in the future.
