Re: The in-wheel swerve shifter!

Since the S3X hub has an indicator chain for shifting you could mount your shifter up in the swerve drive above the pivot bearing. What you use for a shifter is up to your imagination. One problem is that the 4 wheels would shift at different time do to load on the gears and meshing of the gears. It should be ok for telly op but not for autonomous shifting. The Sturmey Archer hubs that have automatic shifting would not work well for our robots. They would tend to shift each time you slow down. I do not think this hub would work for competitions but it could lead things in a interesting dirrection.
