Transmissions
All of the teams out there have had their own experiences with different types of transmissions.
We have only had the opportunity to deal with the standard KOP transmission. Although it is a good transmission is leaves somethings to be desired.
We have been talking about what transmissions we can experiment with during the off season so that we can be properly prepared for next season.
Through our research we have come upon three options: DeWalt transmissions, andymark shifters, and custom built
After some more research we were led to believe that DeWalt shifters break easily. We also decided that andymakr shifters were just to expensive for our budget.
So that leaves us with building our own. However, we don't have any idea as to were we can start this process. But we have been able to come up with some questions.
What program can be used to design transmissions?
What program can be used to test tolerances?
What is an effective transmission design (simple)?
Where can gears, bearings, shafts, etc. be purchased?
