Re: pic: Inverted 3 CIM 2 speed gearbox with PTO
Oh man, I never thought this thread would come back up. I'd love to post the CAD, the only problem is that it's so old I'm not sure if I have it anymore. I'll dig around and see if I can find it and...

Re: pic: 8wd 6 cim WCD with PTO
The problem with switching the belts is that the belt in the middle has to be close to the frame to clear the PTO cylinder. If we end up ditching the PTO, i will definetly switch the belts, although...

Re: pic: Inverted 3 CIM 2 speed gearbox with PTO
The cylinder isn't mounted on this plate, I didn't want to attatch anything to that plate in case we end up taking it out. that 3rd plate is just simply extra support to prevent sagging.

Re: pic: Inverted 3 CIM 2 speed gearbox with PTO
The extra plate is only one extra part, and it keeps the motors from sagging outwards, if we find that it isn't necessary and becomes a hassle, we can just simply remove it and make the final hex...

Re: pic: Inverted 3 CIM 2 speed gearbox with PTO
We have the piston attached to a 1/4 plate that's only an inch long, so I don't believe flexing will be much of an issue. We did this same type of shifting on our lift this year and didn't run into...

Re: pic: Inverted 3 CIM 2 speed gearbox with PTO

Re: pic: 2015 robot offseason redesign
And again, I'm sorry for the bad pictures, this is actually the same situation, it is already a 4 wheel intake, just hard to see in the pictures. I have the soft 35a nitrile rollers from McMaster in...

Re: pic: 2015 robot offseason redesign
From the ground to the highest point on the robot, it is 77.75" tall, which is to the tip of the sprocket, which is going to be moved down, so it will actually be closer to 77.5" tall when finished.
