Re: pic: 2 Speed Transmission

While all of the points you guys bring up are valid, and great things to keep in mind when choosing gear ratios during the season, I just chose those two speeds because those were speeds that I thought might be useful for a game like last year.
When the new season starts, I am going to re-evaluate the gear ratios, and redesign that part of the transmission. I see no point in speculating about the next season and choosing a specific gear ratio before the challenge is released. I just started with 2 gear ratios so that I would have a basic design to build off of and adjust to the challenge when the season starts. Most likely, I will keep the 5 ft/sec, and adjust the top speed to a speed that fits the challenge better.
Thanks for all of the great input on my design.
What dimensions do teams normally use for the size of their dog, and the depth that the teeth of the dog go into the gears? I am currently using 1/2 inch hex, and the dog's teeth are 7/16 of an inch long.
