Re: pic: 25's drive module

I keep ogling this drive system, and have been really wondering how the internals work on this thing. Is there any chance I could get my grubby little paws on the CAD for this thing? I have and use both Inventor and Solidworks. I'd love to see inside the design of a team that I've looked up to.

The Behind the Design book has a CAD drawing of our drive system. If you search this forum, you will find a lot of information on how it works. If you have anymore questions though, feel free to ask here or contact me.

What wheels does your team use?

Re: pic: 25's drive module

Any idea how much that module (as pictured) weighed?

I'm now working with Inventor to try and recreate this, so I can get a better picture on what it would work like with gears, as I've always used chain.

Nice, I like the large gears. Where do you find such large gears and how much do they cost?

Thanks, Travis

Am I seeing bronze gears (the golden color ones)? Why would you choose these gears over steel gears.

Thanks, Travis

For some reason I cannot delete this post
Mine no longer matters as Bharats fills you all in, my post has been spoiled.

Could someone please elaborate on how the servo braking system works?

Thanks
