Re: NanoTube Chassis
We have a design similar to AndyMark's nanotube. We lengthened the rails to 35 inches and capped them with 3x1 inch rectangular aluminum tubing 27 inches long. We have two side pieces of 3x1 tubing that are 35 inches long that attach to these forming a rectangle 27x37. The bumpers are bolted to these. We use 6" omni wheels on the corner with placation wheels in the center with a 1/16" drop. With the built in gearing we have a 12.7:1 drive ratio. The chassis is 'nuke proof' and turns on a dime.
