If your passive system takes more than just a straight pull to get the gear out of the robot, you should probably re-evaluate your system.

Most passive systems, due to the bumper rules, will leave the gear further out on the peg (spring). The peg is flexible enough that a quick jerk from the pilot will usually leave the gear on the ground.

straight pulls are not as easy as it seems

Re: Passive vs Active Gearing

So what are people considering a passive vs active system.

1) Pushing the gear onto the peg further
or
2) Aligning the gear with something besides drivetrain

Our definition is that it just leaves the gear on the peg with some actuated mechanism. Our gear mechanism lines up passively without the drivetrain (the whole thing pivots and gives a little), but our gear box just opens and the gear falls forward onto the peg. When the robot backs away the gear stays on the peg because of its inertia. Robot picture

nice robot. You are getting great cycle times. Would love to see a video
