I feel like these types of drives came from what that drive was. Opened up the door for pneumatics manipulating wheels. Before that it was only Swerve Drive. |
Re: pic: 2996 Octocanum Prototype
I am curious though. Is there a reason that you need 4 cylinders to move the wheels? Can you put a push bar from 1 pod to another and use a wider diameter piston in the middle of the bot? That way you only need 2 pistons and less chance of there being problems with switching wheels?
As I said I'm old and not up to date on these drives lol. There may be a really easy reason why you need them seperate that I'm missing |

Looks pretty cool. You guys got a video of it in action?

What was the reasoning for having the mecanum wheels on the outside? If you get into a head on pushing match you are likely to be tipped off of the colson wheels and onto the mecanums. Also why 6 inch mecanums over 4 inch mecanums and a belt or chain reduction to the colson wheels? It seems like that is the more conventional configuration and would allow for smaller and lighter packaging.
