Very cool! Do you have any pictures or CAD files to look at?

as i said it was done with a hack saw and a drill press so CAD is out of the question and i didnt get any pics b4 it was torn apart so i can redo it for this year. ill try to get pics when its all done up with right since my team has real tools this year.

Is this gearbox the same dimensions as the FRC gearbox in the previous years (2005, 2006) and we made longer shafts for our FRC gearboxes which mount the same as the stock ones. How are the main shafts on these gearboxes? How are they different, if different from the ones on the FRC one?

Thanks


oops, I just saw there are sprockets, I wonder how that can work with out setup.
edit #2: I get how to hook it up now, but my other questions still stand

THANKS

Have a look at what we did last year for mounting the AM shifters, we made plates to mount them right between two of the wheels in our 6-wheel setup. We are doing something a bit different this year, but this setup worked well for us. It was simple and used the kit frame.
