Now, everyone knows that Oompaloompas are like bunnies in that they have an insatiable desire to multiply, and the same can be said with Michigan teams (with all due respect) which are currently multiplying and filling that hand-shaped democratic kingdom with their honorable number. - Eugenia Gabrielov [more] |

Power Take off possibly? Hence the two sprockets with different alignments...

That's the basic idea of power take-off, adding an application or switching the application of the motor. Kind of like gear shifting, except instead of switching gear ratios, it changes outputs of the motor.

Yep, this gearbox gives us a reduction of about 12:1 to drive (on 6'' performance wheels) and about 16:1 to the climber. One gearbox and lifter arm were able to lift 70+ lbs in our testing.
In case anyone was wondering, we chose to go with 4 rather than 6 cims for the PTO because math told us we could, and cims are always useful for other mechanisms.
