Re: Using plaction wheels on a roller claw
A problem with the plaction wheels is that is a lot of weight you are putting on the end of your manipulator. I would recommend using a piece of pvc with whatever tread you choose riveted on and if you decide to go with polycord in your claw you can use the tread to space out the polycord. We have done it this way on our bot this year and our bot from 09 but this year we used solid aluminum rod which is overkill when looking back on it. We also used the 1 inch pulley diameter polycord this year and while it worked fine I wouldn't recommend it becaue it has some issues with breaking while the two inch pulley diameter stuff never broke in our history of using it.
