Re: Worm Gear Gearbox
341 used a worm gear gearbox last year- we had a CIM geared down to match the drill motor on both sides, she wasn't as fast as we would have liked her to be (efficiency loss), but the entire year we never got pushed once- many times we met teams with much more powerful transmissions and they couldn't budge us, our frame got really beat up from that
 but seeing as our main strategy was to hang quickly from the ground, winch up to the platform, and move back and forth on the platform, it was nice to know nobody could push us. I personally am a fan of the multi-speed gearboxes over this worm gear gearbox, but if there was ever a game where you want to be a unmovable rock, like if you have to guard something, this gearbox is your man. |
