Re: pic: 254 Drivetrain
I got to see 60's robot REALLY up close (like I stuck my head in it) at Phoenix and it is amazing how everything is packed in there. They even have this little leadscrew mechanism on their PTO winch that winds the cable evenly so it doesn't wind on top of itself. Anyway, on 60's it appeared that the 4 corner wheel's are toe'd in a bit. I was wondering what is the effect of/ reasoning for this and how does it affect the chain/sprocket alignment? Thanks.
