Travis,

This is just another beautifully made/designed part of your robot. While building our robot, we're almost always limited by our machine shop, and the time spent on the machines. Do you know how much weight all the lightening holes and treepans remove? I'm trying to determine how much "time for weight" is involved in these transmissions. (I won't even ask about all the heat treating and anodizing time!)

Also, I believe this is a single CIM gearbox, right? Have you found any lack of pushing power even when you're in low gear? We used the Dewalt 3-speeds with a single CIM last year and found that we were still being pushed (well, rammed) around by kitbots.

Thanks,

BEN
