Re: pic: 2 Speed Vex Transmission
Just curious, what did you use to convert the servo to linear motion?

a lock bar at the end of the shaft coming from the servo is attached to a piece of metal which is being held between 2 shaft colars, when they servo moves it pulls the piece of metal and the whole shaft with it. It had a problem with jamming occasionaly though so i redesigned it, which you can see posted here:

Your new design definetly looks more reliable but I noticed it used a spring. Since a spring isn't a Vex part would that make it not competition legal? Nonetheless awesome job.
