Very cool - I like it! Once this is done, I would love to see video of it shifting from low gear to high gear.

Just don't forget about gear train efficiencies. It looks like there are eight gear/chain reductions per side, and all those losses can all really add up. Each Vex gear reduction will only be about 90-95% efficient, while each Vex chain reduction will be about 95% efficient.
