Keep up the great work!

Since none of the other 971 folks have gotten around to responding yet: yes, this is a drop-in replacement for the dog shifters we used in 2013. They were able to swap it out on the practice robot in a few hours and had it running very quickly (I think that day, but I wasn't there so I could be wrong).
As mentioned in the caption, we ran the practice robot with the friction clutches at Madtown and didn't have to make any other modifications to the robot outside of the transmission. It's a nice risk mitigation if we decided to use the friction clutch during the actual season, since we could always revert back to the dog clutch if unforeseen problems arose.
No. This is CD, take the threads and their topics seriously. - pwnageNick [more]
