Re: Who Already Has Their Chassis Built?
 

Chassis done, waiting on shipping for a pair of omni's from AM to finish the whole drive. We have a floating chassis as of right now with gearboxes and a temporary electrical panel mounted.

Tomorrow we should have a working drive sans omni wheels.

we are waiting for parts right now so but evrything is set up so i want a rolling chassis by sat. night so we are doing ok as of now and i want to be done by mid week 4 *knock on wood*

Re: Who Already Has Their Chassis Built?
 

We have an identical drive train finished. It was built prior to kickoff so it is not legal. The next step is to duplicate it - this should take a few days.

We intentionally held off on building the drivetrain to wait and see what our manipulator would look like.

Re: Who Already Has Their Chassis Built?
 

We have the drive train designed and the chassis is being cut. Transmissions are built but waiting for some parts to add dual CIMs to each. We need some other wheel parts and sprockets as well - total build for the running chassis should be done by the end of next week. I wanted something sooner but, being a rookie team, it seems hard to pass on the urgency to the students. :) they all seem to have so many commitments!! Anyway, we have 2 arm designs and another manipulator figured out - need to test them to see what works best before finalizing anything. Other than the increadible mess they make each day, everyone is working rather well together.

Re: Who Already Has Their Chassis Built?
 

All ordered parts have been shipped, and fabrication starts tomorrow. We should be done with both bases by the end of next week.

We built a prototype today to test ackermann steering, after testing tomorrow we will know what we're actually using. Then we should be finished in about 2 weeks max.
