Re: pic: Bit Buckets 2015 Offseason Drivetrain

Another meeting tomorrow, another iteration ready to fab:


This version includes a significant redesign of the gearbox and its mount, allowing for a stiffer gearbox and more sensible encoder placement. New t-slot design should better retain nuts. The battery mount was enlarged and holes for a velcro strap were added. Small improvements to clearances, press fits and lightening holes were made throughout the model.

This will be the last iteration of the drivetrain before build season. We received our Vex Pro and FIRST Choice orders, so will be assembling the full powertrain and wiring all the electronics on this version.

Here's all of the wooden parts, laid out for the laser:
