Re: CIM Motor Direct Drive or Supporting Axle

This is the shooter that my team made for the 2012 FRC game. (sorry for the big image)

The wheels are supported by one shaft, with the a belt from the motors and gearbox. You could place the motors and gearbox in between the two sets of wheels you have pictured, and use two belts; one to the upper wheel and one to the lower wheel. I would not recommend using the pneumatic wheels that were linked to above, as the valve causes the wheel to be unbalanced resulting in horrible vibration.
