if one were to make a swerve drive, what ratio would be best for the speed/power combo (as I saw a lot of options on andymark)? I feel like part of our shoving problems came from our omni wheels (so that takes care of its self). I am tempted to try and make one as a summer project.
could you please go into team 254's drive-train, or at least just something to use as a search query.
thanks so much! -3734 |
I personally have something against mecanum wheels (insert dead horse to be beaten), but what I'm really trying to get at is to start simple and
learn from your mistakes. It's easy to jump around ideas and only implement them halfway, but you learn more about engineering and gain more experience when you iterate your design to the best possible iteration. Do the changes I mentioned with your kit drive before exploring swerve and mecanum. If a team can't master the kit base and the standard 6 wheel drive base, they certainly don't have the resources or time to master an omnidirectional mecanum or swerve drive. If you want to learn more,
A simple search in the whitepapers for a drivetrain design can help.
