Re: Engaging Gears Perpendicular to Shaft Direction?
i'm sure that some where in the CD gallery (2001, i thought), there is a picture of a robot that uses a 'swing' shifter that works like the one you described. I would that this sort of shifter might be better than a 'sliding' shifter, because the distance that the shifting mechanism would have to move a very short distance to engage the gear's teeth. of course, this could also work against you, for example if you are a little off on your calculations, you might end up engaging the gears for both high and low speed at the same time.

Yes, it is fun. Its fun to watch the students expand their thinking and look outside the "normal" and watch their thoughts explode! Its also fun to watch the mentor's minds fry trying to out think the students.;) - Robert Cawthon [more]
