If you want to make your tranny anti-backdriveable (sp?), I would recommend that using a wormgear other than the one in the Denso.

Worm gear in a drive-train also means no coasting once power to the motors is cut. Don't know if that is good or bad but seems like it would put a high load on the worm gear if a high speed run came at the end of a match...
Love the work and wish I had some ability to design drive-train transmissions.

The code is hopefully pretty self-documenting, but I haven't had time to comment it (kinda trying to build a robot at the moment). - RyanCahoon [more]
