Re: pic: Version 1.1

If I'm looking at this right, it seems that in the transition period between high gear and low gear the motor shaft is locked, because both gears are engaged at the same time. Is this actually what is desired? It seems needlessly cruel to the motor, and I would think actually makes slipping into the new mesh more difficult.

By all means lighten the gears if it is easy for you to do, but I suspect that the inertia of those disks is negligable in comparison to the momentum of the 130 pound robot, or even just the wheel attatched to this gearbox.
