We also got the basic electronics mounted and programming on the cRIO, so we started driving straight away. We tested it and found out that the frontal wheels were slightly lifted up from the ground. So our CAD subteam sketched the chassis in Inventor based on the files from the AndyMark webpage and realized that the ToughBox shaft was 0.14" higher than the center of the outer wheels. Is this a design error, or is it intentionally designed in that way? |
Its intentional, it allows you to turn the robot easier. If all the wheels were at the same level, turning would be extremely difficult due to wheel scrub.
