Re: Drivetrain 1727

looks great, the only thing that i think needs to be addressed is the length of the wires, it looks like you have a lot of long wires (lots of extra weight) but other then that its nice :)

That is my comment as well. If you could bring the upper deck down a little closer, you'd be suprised how much you could reduce in wire, or possibility relocate the items that require the heavier gauge wire to the lower deck. Other than that looks great, we are trying double deck board this year.

Yeah, but the motor for the device actually fits right in the gap. Electromagnetic interference? Puh! ;)

Right now the wires are a tad longer than they need to be because the layout isn't finalized. For instance, we had to shift a spike + the RC around because the radio serial cable extended past the size limit for the robot. :]

What did you use to transmit power from the shafts to the wheels?

Andy Mark 500 key hubs mounted to the inside of ifi wheels, so the wheels are keyed right into the shafts of the transmission.
