Re: Team 610 pre-season drivetrain

This is really cool. I've been CADing some very similar designs (putting gears inside the rectangle tubing), so I have a few questions. What type of gears are you using, aluminum, steel, what manufacturer? Also gears do not absorb force like belts and chains do, how are you planning on mounting the bumpers so the forces from collisions are dispersed correctly? The drivebase looks awesome, I can't wait to see what 610 comes out with this season.
