Rookie team drive tream idea

[Eric Bareiss]

As for using a gearbox, my suggestion would be to use the one that comes in the kit. I haven't seen the one from this year, but I know the one from last year could be retrofitted for use with chips.

I'm not saying that making a gearbox is totally out of the question. You can surely do it with a drill press if you had to. I would get a good idea of what you think you are capable of and work from there.

My suggestion to you is to find a veteran team who would be willing sit down with you for a day and help you work out some plans for a gear box, maybe even help you machine it. It looks like team 25 is only about 15 miles away from you, I'm sure they would be willing to help.
