It's done!
May. 12th, 2005 03:14 pmFinally. My transmission is completed. ( Wanna see? )
Despite some disappointing trials in the morning, we ended up with a time of less than 40 seconds to reach 250 rpm, and a max speed of around 300 rpm, if I remember correctly. Our final score was 7.8 or so, which was very respectable, and though still about 4 points below the best transmission (Planetary gears. Yikes.), it was about 4 points above the worst as well. I give an A. Hopefully Prof Burdick will come to the same conclusion.
And now, to reclaim my life and not spend 7-8 hours per day working in a metal shop! *turns on FF:CC*
