Re: Drive Systems

My college club, Bison Robotics, at NDSU is looking to build a drive system for demonstration purposes. The idea would be to build the drivetrain, film and document our process, and put everything out on social media for others to use as a resource. We also plan on create a highly detailed Bill of Materials and assembly instructions for this drivetrain in order to make it more accessible to lower resource teams.

The idea is to build a unique/original system that can compete with swerve in terms of maneuverability and power. We are not trying to cater to low resource teams in a sense that the drive is simple: there can be a high degree complexity. Basically I'm looking for links or pictures of some of the more obscure drivetrain ideas out there.

Here is a list of drive systems which I am already familiar with:
  • tank
  • mecanum
  • slide
  • kiwi
  • swerve
  • butterfly
  • grasshopper

Edit: I forgot octocanum and nonadrive

Are there any other systems I am missing? Thanks in advance for the help!
