Well, I've been listening to the people who may actually consider buying transmissions once we swing into gear to sell them, and so I've designed another one (Did it in the last hour. I got bored and inspired, and have mad CAD skillage....). The new one has a low speed of 4 fps, and a high of 10. Drivers will most likely stay in high gear most of the time, and when they hit a pushing match, they will shift down to be able to torque.

This was going to be one of my suggestions to Sam for next year, Just change the final gear ratio so that when we need to push, we can push anyone, and in high gear we don't flail around trying to drive something that is too fast, 4:1 and 10:1 sound perfect to me

Also, the cost for the entire thing is only $1,200. The belts alone are 300 apiece so 1/2 of what a team would pay would be for the belts alone. For the quality of and time put into this drive train it is well worth the $1,200
