Well... after a long build up, the Super Shifters are ready to be shipped to eager customers.

We've even hired our first part-time employee* and his focus is to assemble these Super Shifters with me over the next few days.

Also, we have some other new products:

1. Omni spacer - this neato aluminum donut easily couples two aluminum omni wheels together to make "dualies".

2. 6 hole spacer - this acetal (aka: Delrin) spacer mounts between a sprocket and an aluminum omni wheel (and also our to-be-released 6" Mecanum Wheel)

3. 6" Mecanum Wheel - this is a lighter, cheaper, smoother-rolling, and stronger version of our 8" wheel. It has curved, not stepped rollers. This will be available in early December.

* - Nick Boyce is a freshman at Purdue - Kokomo, and was a 4 year TechnoKat. He was the lead mechanical student during the last 2 years.

Thanks to all for the continued support.
Andy

ps... as for that Kokomoshifter, that is a wonderful name

Then how about instead of a dog-shifter we have a kat-shifter?

...I'm still waiting for the AM ball-lock shifter, though.

All that I know officially is that right now, SuperShifter 2 is under development as codename "Greased Pig". I have heard several confirmed rumors of an IVT potentially running on with centrifugal clutches.
