This is a picture of the friction clutch transmission that we did as a 2013 off season project. Our goal was to decrease our shift engagement time and be able to shift under load. The transmissions were used on one of our robots at the MadTown Throwdown and worked without issue.

Looks beautiful, Travis. Good job to everyone on 971 for coming up with this. I'm assuming this uses your strategy of putting the last reduction on the wheel shaft itself, since I don't see an output shaft coming from the transmission.
Keep up the great work!

As mentioned in the caption, we ran the practice robot with the friction clutches at Madtown and didn't have to make any other modifications to the robot outside of the transmission. It's a nice risk mitigation if we decided to use the friction clutch during the actual season, since we could always revert back to the dog clutch if unforeseen problems arose.
