Sweet, how does it shift?
Light, neat, simple! |

Re: pic: 571-Team Paragon 2005 trannys...
Thought so!
I just did not want to come out and say "wow nice way to use ball bearings to shift" and not have it be so... So what do you think about this method of shifting? |

That PC board probably has to do with that hall effect sensor. I take it you use the hall effect sensor to determine how fast the tranny is going and when you need to shift. Looks sweet.

To add a little more info, each one weighs 5 pounds with a "chippy" and without the chippawa each one is i believe 4 or 5''x 6''x 1 1/2'' thick
We decided to go against the bigger is better theory and go for our usual "If it still works it's not complicated enough" tactic. |

It looks cool!
The only thing worrying me is the piston. It certaintly does not look like a bimba-order-form equivalent. Not that it is a hard thing to change, I just thought I would give you guys a heads up before your first competition. If there is something I missed, please forgive me. Otherwise good job! |

Hi Travis-
I'm not sure what you mean by "bimba-order-form equivalent", but the air cylinders are Bimba brand. -Tom |

Is that LAN cable I see? Or some sort of smaller equivalent?
Maybe phone line? But does phone cable come with a yellow jacket? |

1. Sandrag- the cylinders came from ...Bimba.
However thanks Travis - Indeed only the "DP" (clevis) end style cylinders are on the Pneumatics order form, so looks like Mr. Charney will go air shopping next week.... 2. Elgin - it's not a LAN cable or equivalent .. it's HALF a Lan cable. (You can take a wild guess at what symmetric location the other half is) Thanks for the good feedback everyone.. |
