It's Urgent

DARPA and Evolvent

Some of you know us as;

Gear and transmission design shop

Custom gear manufacturing shop

Makers of the Software GearCalculators.com

and none of that is changing.

Opportunity is unscheduled...

You might not know this about us but we have a very nice young and eager team along with some seasoned veterans, and the DARPA opportunity fits. Transferring and bridging knowledge.

The Lift Challenge could not be a better test or fit for our skill sets both from a design and manufacturing and execution standpoint.

Growth is good, but this is a serious challenge and it is going to sharpen and shape us for the better.

We felt strongly enough about this mission and how it fits ours. Check out our Patreon to see how you can help and for more details:
