Re: Team 708 Drivetrain
According to the CAD, each module had weighed 18.34 lbs with the steel gears, so the base with now board, electronics, or manipulators weighed about 37 pounds and the real version was about that. Just working off of the CAD, each base would weigh 16.31 lbs so the same base drivetrain would be roughly 32.6 lbs instead. Using gears made from aluminum 7075 is something our team is planning on doing so our base weight is lower.
