That stuff is really cool. I saw on TV something sort of like that which they were developing to use as fluid in off-road racing shocks to essentially change the viscosity in a matter of miliseconds.

Lord Corporation (http://www.lord.com/Default.aspx?tabid=718) has been developing magnetorheological fluid applications for several years. The site has lots of interesting information and applications.

There must be a way to make a continuously variable transmission for a FIRST robot using this stuff, but I haven't come up with one yet.
