Shifting Gearbox

FIRST General Forum

Is there any VersaPlanetary shifting gearboxes with a gear ratio of 243:1 or higher?

Just curious, what do you plan on using this for?

We need it for our climber/intake claw, which are both using the same motor. However, the claw needs to be able to move up fast and the climber needs to have a lot of torque. So we need the gearbox to switch between the two.

VersaPlanetaries do NOT shift. They’re single-speed planetaries.

What you’re looking for would be a standard shifting gearbox, but then you need to figure out what spread of gears you need. Low needs to be 243:1, what about the high?
