awesome transmission. very resourceful. my question is do you really need a neutral? maybe you do, but i am not sure. i would be afraid of getting stuck in neutral and then you can not do anything. am i wrong? i love the parking break incorporated though. great idea!

We are only going to use the neutral to be able to push the robot around in between matches. The shifter will be spring loaded so as soon as the gears are lined up it will slip into high or low, so unless the spring fails we *shouldn't* have a problem with being stuck in neutral.
The parking brake is going to "set" at the end of the match as a default so if we are say half way up the ramp we won't roll back down much like putting a car into park on a hill. Then at the end of the match we will disengage the brake into neutral.

We did that last year, but ours was a lot smaller than that because we used gears we had originally purchased when we made our version of the tecknocats 2-speed shift on the fly in 2004. There should be pics posted from last year.
