Re: Vex Pro Ball Shifter Questions

2. We bought some ball shifters in the past, and I'm pretty sure that you can (by hand) move the shifting rod in between the two gears and get to a "neutral" gear, where no output happens. Is this correct, and would it be possible to spring load the shifting mechanism so that when there is no air the system, it returns to "neutral"?

3. Has anybody done something like this before with positive or negative results?
1. Yes.

2. Yes, and no. If you want to have a neutral, you'll have to buy a 3-position pneumatic cylinder with strokes of 0.25in and 0.5in.

3. We're doing something similar right now. I'll keep you posted when we're done.
