Re: Tote bot

Update on the project, we have completed the inner frame. Tested it with 60lbs and the frame has absolutely no sagging. The parts have been chosen, two Andy mark pg27 motors in a staggered configuration, two victor 888, chain drive system, no tension system. Three wheeled design, two drive in the front (tank drive) one office chair swivel wheel in the back. The frame is made of tetrix metal parts.the battery will be mounted in front of the axle, pdp centered above the motors. Low speed gear ratio. Top speed 6-15 mph.

The only problems I have left to solve are finding the correct image for the CRio-II were using, and finding out how to ventilate the systems. And of course, fitting the control system into the box without having to jump on top to smash it in there lol.
I'm going to rig the ventilation to shut off when the flaps are open (safety reasons, dam near got a knuckle torn off by a fan)

Any help at all, would be greatly appreciated I will post a video of the tote bot
Sneaking around the room.
