Re: Shafts in Drivetrains

In our experience it's is the robot weight supported by the shaft that has more impact. Also the distance between the wheel and the bear shaft is supported on. Our team has successfully bent 1/2" keyed Aluminum shaft. For cantilever shaft steel is the probably the best choice.
