Re: pic: AIR STRIKE 78 Drive Train

I like that gearbox a lot! I looked through the album on instagram and saw the side view of it. Any chance you'll be releasing CAD at any time?
Also, loving the 8 wheel WCD.

EDIT - Woops. I did not notice that was the EVO.

What EVO ratio do you have? We wanted a 4.77 and 10.86 but they never came in stock, so we just went for a ball shifter.

Looking through 78's Instagram reveals that these gearboxes are not EVO Shifters, but in fact very elegant single speed gearboxes. They just happen to have similar-looking pockets.

Beautiful, simple drivetrain, Rick!

Re: pic: AIR STRIKE 78 Drive Train

Nick is correct, these are not shifting gearboxes. Our team strives for simple, and I think this drivetrain may be our go to for flat floor games in the future.

Our fall practice drive train used the Single Speed, Single Reduction Gearboxes from Vex:



Our gearbox plates are essentially the same thing except instead of sheet metal we went with 1/4" waterjet plate. The gearboxes have a mount for encoders similar to the Vex design and mount to both the drive rails and bumper rails. We are running a 6 motor drive train for the first time with 4 CIMs and 2 Mini-CIMs.

A big thanks to 558 for the inspiration on this design.
