In 2015 my team was able to build an H-Drive out of two AM14U bots. All we had then were the basic tools, chopsaw, bandsaw, and a drill press as well as an assortment of hand tools. For our suspension we took a bunch of thin 1/16" washer and can't them around the shank of a 1/2" And stacked them in between where the H-drive met the chassis, like leaf springs in a truck. The hardest part about this drive train is figuring how much you want that center wheel to influence normal driving, if you lower the center wheel to much driving becomes very difficult, if you put it too high you find that you can't strafe. In the end we ended up having to adjust height at each of our competitions because the fields are much more uneven than they seem.
