Wow cool...thanks for the feedback...as far as the gear widths those arent the actuall ratios yet...Im still working with them. There really is no rhyme or reason for the actual widths. I will be using the I-sprockets as soon as i get my ratios.

I plan to also find away for have the the cones toothed w/ a toothed belt. Only 4 to six teeth would be on the cone....but like I said...its still being developed.

-thanks

Sanddrag, I believe the reason the CIM is on another mount is because of his bearing for the shaft that the CIM is coupled to. If he removed the shaft and placed the gear on the CIM output shaft as you suggested, the bearing wouldn't be in the way and there would just be a clearance hole for the output shaft, and the motor could mount flush with the plate.

Looks like a pretty nifty design

Yes cory, infact its wrather simple to mount the plates directly to the chipaua's It would be easier than trying to run the shaft over it, if he were to just mount the chips directly to the plate, and place the gear on a set screw or keyway on the chip. Thats what our team does every year, works strong every time, never have problems with it, and we put our bots through hell after comp.
