Can't believe I forgot our 1/4 scale tractor team is in that list as well, they are surprisingly good and have won the international competition the last couple years.

While Ivies like Harvard, Princeton, and Yale are bleeding endowment money in the market downturn, their graduating seniors are facing a decimated job market upon graduation. What to do? "Prompted by inequalities in American society

We competed in that as well. i was thinking about that but you can use as many 10HP engines as you want (so long as you don't break the weight limit). We definitely don't have that kind of money here.

We use 4 of them, and if I remember right, they are donated. What do you guys compete in over there?

I really don't know much else we may participate in. The Engines have to be bought from B&S (Special ones marked so you can't tamper with them) but I'm sure they could have found someone to foot the bill

If a gearbox is a 2.68:1 Ratio and the Rear driveshaft gears are 3.10 what is the total reduction that I would have to use with using chain and sprockets...

unless i'm reading that wrong, what are you trying to achieve?

x2 :+1:

not exactly following you here

The CVT transmission takes care of the "gears" so most ATV's have a Gearcase with H/L/N/R then an output shaft to a rear differential. I want to skip the gearcase and rear differential completely by just using sprockets to achieve my gear ratio. I will lose the ability to have a L/N/R. Reverse being most important but I will also lose a substantial amount of weight and the ability to just switch sprockets for a different gear ratio. It will also be much cheaper.

That being said, the "transmission" Polaris shows in their parts list has a gear ratio of 2.68:1 in high range, and the rear differential has a ratio of 3.10:1. I was just curious what the overall gear reduction between those 2 equaled. (What big sprocket and little sprocket I would need to achieve the same ratio)

uh, you'll just need gears with diameters of a ratio of 8.308:1

Just remember to find someone who can weld that is on the team.

I wish I had a welder. I've been designing brackets for the UGV, and I know someone's going to want to machine them. Bitch please, a jigsaw, drill press, and MIG welder, and I could make it in less than 20 minutes.
