Re: CHIPS

If anyone wants to see the inside of the Chia there are a couple pics here http://team696.org/forum/category.php?cid=5&page=3

For a simple drill-chia drivetrain I would recommend something like this http://team696.org/forum/image.php?iid=166
another pic http://team696.org/forum/image.php?iid=164

It uses the drill in high gear

If you are using large wheels, or don't have room for a large final reduction and would like to run the drills in low with the Chias (or just the Chias by themselves), I would recommend the team 716 2003 single speed gearbox (found in the whitepapers) Team 980 and 696 used it this year with great success. It is a little more complicated to build than the pics I linked to above but it is very reliable, small, efficient and lighter. It has a nice slow output speed of 460 rpm.

Attatched is a pic of ours.
