Looks nice, much like the module Andrew Remmers made last season:

So Team Driven is running a two speed, eight wheel drop this year huh? Should be an interesting two competitions with them...I'll have to make some time to go check out this sexy gearbox and the pizza box. I wonder if the two are mutually exclusive.

On a curious side note...21.5lbs is a lot to invest in just drive gearboxes...even if it does afford you the ability to drop all chains. In perspective, an AM Super Shifter is 4lbs, and VEXPro Ball Shifter is 2.5-3.05, depending on stages.

It must be 10.75 lbs with motors installed. A ss from AM is approx 10 lbs with motors.

If you ever decide to make this again, use WCP gears. They're a ton lighter than the steel ones you're using. 10lbs is heavy for a gearbox, and I feel like aluminuim gears could lighten it significantly.

It definately has that sexy factor. I love the ability to withstand a chain break too. Personally, the weight outweighs the robustness in my mind.

This design reminds me a bit of a 448 module from AM
