Re: pic: SWERRRRVE

Love the idea of using the clamping gearboxes for the initial reduction. I do have a question. Can you explain why you seem to have an overdrive from the driving sprocket out of the clamping gearbox to the driven sprocket on the wheel?
Also, how thick is the metal on the caster? Tapping threads into the side of sheet metal typically isn't advised.
One last thing. How much of a reduction to you have on rotating the caster? Depending on what motor that is, you may need to have more reduction.
