And I will most definitely never forget watching this bald, brown thin wisp of a human being charging up to us across the sidelines after the semifinals ended waving his hands and shouting "New Strategy!!!!!! New Strategy!!!!!!" as he rallied the troops for our Finals push.

Re: 2 Speed and Mecanum 'Trane
Don't think its ever been done.
Only way you could do it very well would be with dewalts i think. You need an individual gearbox for each wheel which eliminates most shifters. What would be the benefits of a shifting design on mecanums? Not like your going to get a tremendous amount of pushing power out of them anyways. High or low gear. |

Re: 2 Speed and Mecanum 'Trane
We did a prototype of it over the summer to see how it would work. We ended up changing it around and modifying it but I dont have any pics of that.

Re: 2 Speed and Mecanum 'Trane
Team 40 did it in 2006, with DeWalt Transmissions. There really aren't any good pictures of the robot, but the shifters were effective.

Re: 2 Speed and Mecanum 'Trane
Thanks for the help. I not planning on doing anything like this (I'm not near a team), but it just seemed to me like somebody in FIRST had probably tried this by now. It just seemed like something that had to happen at least once. : )
