Re: Supershifters and Stackerbox's

this is our team's first year where we haven't used the stock gearboxes. We decided to go with a two speed transmission and bought the supershifters. they were over $800 dollars too. anywho, we were really exited to test em out. when we were putting them together we noticed we were missing a gear or something in each one but andy mark made good on that after we let em know. the second thing was how we had to make this spacer for the gear that comes off of the CIM. (we're only running one CIM per side even though they can accomodate two) So far they seem to work well although we don't have them working on the robot yet. we were testing the gear tooth sensor that it comes with and it works really well and also since we're not using pneumatics we have to use the servo to shift. If you are using this setup I would strongly recommend using a recharge circut for your backup battery. I noticed when we were testing how long it took to shift, the time increased greatly and would almost stop completly when the backup battery gets low. I'll let you know more when we have our robot driving around
