pic: My First Sheet Metal FRC Drivetrain

A lot of really wild speculation took place about another three-CIM-per-side four-speed drive train recently on this thread. Four-speed seems less than fully useful for FRC, though I believe we did come up with a few edge cases that might call for it. PTO (Power-take-off) options seem more likely uses of second shifters on the drive train.

Both threads were started by the same person.

Assuming you add some superstructure connecting the two sides, I don't believe twisting would be a problem. As Chris said in the other thread, those gearbox plates look slightly too lightened, but if you put a few long standoffs between the gearboxes to cross-brace them, it might help.
Just make sure you understand why you made each design decision you did, and it looks great.
