We haven't use the WCP gearboxes but we were really happy with our 3 CIM ball shifters this year. Something our mechanical guys really liked is the flexibility when removing them from the robot. We designed our chassis with a slot in the side plate as well as a large pocket in the bellypan so we could remove the whole assembly (gearbox, wheel, axle, etc) through the bottom of the robot. They found it was much faster and simpler to just separate the main gearbox from the third stage assembly when we had to replace the encoder gears for the updated version. |

Re: pic: 319 Octagonal Drive Isometric
We've discussed developing an auto shifting program but the conversations usually end with us deciding that the programming effort should be focused on our manipulators and keep our driver in control of the robot so he isn't working against the robot if he feels the need to stay in low gear while an auto shifting program would quickly shift up on him. The biggest downside is we could be pushing a robot while in high gear but our driver was practiced and got into the routine of downshifting just before contacting an opponent so we didn't ram them hard. Both the operator and myself would verbally remind him to be be in low gear while pushing as a precaution.
