Butterfly/ octocanum drives
So a butterfly/ octocanum drive is where you switch between mecanum and traction wheels, right?
I was wondering what the typical weight and complexity of these systems was. This would be weight per module or, preferably, weight of bellypan + drive base + modules. I have only found one weight listing for an octocanum module, and I think many teams keep the mass under 11lbs.
How long does this take to design? Does this need a particular CNC special part or can it be fabricated with a waterjet/ sheet metal shop?
Any information on these drives would be useful, as I'm looking into different drives for a summer project.
