Re: pic: Team 3266 Sheet Metal Drivetrain

All the metal is .100" aluminum and is cut out using a laserjet and then bent on an automatic break, this is done by one of our machining sponsors. Then the students rivet the frame together.

As far as the overall design I owe a lot to the guys from 2168 and 228. Without their generosity and CAD files I wouldn't be anywhere near a production ready sheet metal drivetrain. Also the design for the pulley hubs was originally from 2168's 2013 robot and the weight reduction is heavily influenced from their 2011 base. What can I say I'm a huge fan!
