What is an effective transmission design (simple)?
Where can gears, bearings, shafts, etc. be purchased?

1.) Just about any design program can be used. We use Autodesk Inventor, and AutoCADD(so we can CNC things)
2.) I do believe you can do that in Inventor and CADD as well.
3.) ummm effective? Well look at some of the teams this year and previous years that have used them.

non-shifting
non-shifting 2
shifting
shifting 2
Shifting 3

You can also look at some teams that shifters pop to mind are technokats(45), Sparx(1126) and Huskies(65)

4.) McMaster (only one of the many places you can buy them from)
