I'll try and get someone to give me those shots when we next take this off... No pulleys. We used the dual-input stage, BAG input to one side, then a custom stub 8mm "shaft" that's only 0.5" long couples the other input of the dual input stage to the input of the versaplanetary itself.

Innovating for the sake of innovating, reinventing the wheel is probably the second biggest pitfall you can fall into when designing an FRC robot, if the wheel is already a very optimized, good solution. - Chris is me [more]
