Re: Drive Systems
While half of my team is excited about the prefabbed frames and gearboxes first handed out this year the other half is working on a nice 2-4 speed transmission. If we were to do a 2 speed they were going to be two extremes. Only because last year we loved our speed, but when we got into a pushing match we were finished. So i crunched some numbers and got HIGH TORQUE in low and HIGH SPEED in HIGH if we were to do the the 3 speed we would throw in some kind of happy medium
As far as shifting goes ive been toying with two ideas.
1. a splined shifting dog mechanism
2. a syncro-mesh shifter.
As soon as i set numbers in stone for this Trann i will post numbers an calculations.

But why use whats given to you, First is about exploring your options and creating a new design! The quick and easy way isnt always the best way and you definatly will not learn much that way!!

One of the Minbot inspectors at LA asked me how much a switch had to weight before it stopped being a "light" switch and started being a "heavy" switch. - ChrisH [more]
