In short just a tiny (3/32th) square endmill + 3/8 alum plate + cnc. The pulley cad was downloaded from SDPSI and I used just my regular CAM software to come up with the tool path.
We did not have any issues with skipping and ratcheting. And the people that have seen me drive can vouch we pushed the drive as hard as we could, with doing all the above. Also to test I pretty much rammed into a test wall and stalled the motors and the belts still didn't ratchet. |
What were your robot dimensions(in case we go back to 28x38 next year)
