At this point in time, our team is nearing the end of brainstorming and beginning the prototyping phase. We have just obtained a physical sturmey archer and will be disassembling it to gain a better understanding of its function. We will focus our efforts in the immediate future of obtaining reversal of input and output shafts and in the long term, an effort to maintain a lightweight yet robust system. A brief timeline of our efforts so far is posted below.
