Re: Showdown: Shifter type
You don't have a planetary shifter listed, a la the Dewalt's, which is what we're using this year. Many teams decided to go with them, due to their lightweight, compactness, and cost (<$75.) However, the main drawback with these is that they can only handle one CIM motor.
The required machining is minimal, and mounting is quite simple. I've yet to hear about any team that's had a problem with them, so their robustness can be spoken for. As Dr Joe states, "Even though I design gearboxes for a living, I cannot design a smaller, better, lighter, cheaper, easier to use transmission for FIRST robots." Based on our experience, I can not argue with that... BEN |
