Re: [FTC]: Tri-Wheel design

How well does your robot with tri-wheel climb and how high? also seeing that you are using omni wheels, I assume you don't have problems with turning on the floor?
I can't wait to see what you guys have come up with!

We got our robot to climb to the mid-zone once during practice with one of our prototypes. At that point, we were using 3D Printed custom sprockets and we sheared about 30% of the teeth off. Since that point we've encountered a lot of issues with the lazy susan we were using. That's why we are switching to the new bearing system that can be seen in the partner space on our GrabCAD account, see V4 of the design. https://workbench.grabcad.com/workbe...fUCrtD7FVlg031

One new item to note, is we removed powered front wheels. We have an idea of how to bring it back but right now the plan is to have that completely removed as it didn't add too much benefit.
