Re: pic: Drivetrain Concept

I just realized that I never posted a newer rendering so, 12 revisions later, here is the newest version. I changed a bunch of things, the most notable being changing the configuration of the main drive gearboxes slightly and changing the center wheel assembly to a piston actuated two wheel setup with two speeds and a position where both wheels are up. I also modified the wheel modules to make the actuation more robust and moved the chains to the outside tube to make maintenance easier.

We are planning on making this version, but we are not going to do the traction wheels because they add a lot of cost (around $400).

I'm not sure what you mean by not having gearboxes, but any drive is going to have some kind of gearbox. This just has the gearboxes integrated into the frame.
