Re: [EWCP]-11-27-11 Drivetrain Design

I'd like to hear some discussion of the following:
  • Materials selection for chassis construction
  • Choosing the "right" wheels (size and type)
  • COTS vs. Custom (chassis, transmissions, wheels)
  • Single speed vs. Multi-speed Drivetrains
  • Gearing limitations (speed, power consumption)
  • Building within your means
  • Knowing your "customers"
  • Innovations and new ideas
and, if possible...
  • An intelligent debate on the omnidirectional/mecanum vs. traction based drives
