Re: Cantilevered Wheel Shaft Strength

I cannot speak from personal experience but I can tell you that teams (254 and 118 come to mind) have been running cantilevered shafts for years with great success. I would look at their past robots, the VEXPro VersaChassis and some of the chassis offered by 221 Robotic Systems for reference - plus I know there are a number of people on this forum who can give you a little more detail.
