Re: Summer Drive Train Prototyping

Welcome to CD Nate! To expand upon the OP a little bit, we have used AM nanotubes for the previous three years. 2 of those 3 have been mecanum, one was 6W tank with only the back 4 wheels direct driven (with gear reduction) by CIMs. We have limited machining capabilities so while a WCD would be nice, as far as I know it is a little bit beyond our capabilities. Kitbot on steroids is exactly the style that we are looking for. Articulating drive trains or swerve are essentially out of the question. Super shifter or ball shifter reviews and comparison would be appreciated as well.
