Veselin,
I'm curious as to what pitch gears you're using in your assemblies. We used 20DP gears, except for a 0.7M gear that mated with the drill motor pinion. I don't really have a reference point, but it looks like you're using 24DP or smaller gears. Looks nice Veselin. I'm looking forward to seeing it at events

Gear reduction for the CIMs is 20 pitch, and for the drills its all .7 mod. Boy what a pain it was to get those gears!!! Yea... mostly aluminum, except for the shaft the whole thing rests on.. thats steel. Gears too...
So yea, its a really nasty, but cool, design. We're geared to go about 10 ft/s, so we're fairly fast. The machining was really crazy though. As I said, the wheels are made of solid blocks of aluminum. Most of the parts needed to be CNCed. So, see you all at the competitions.
Any more questions, I practically live here.
