Re: pic: Planetary...Wheel?

The side load problem is the one next on my list, this is a completely new area for me, so I'm kind of winging it, I have a few ideas to prevent the carrier gear from slipping off, I'm not sure about the downward forces on the planets, I was thinking of rotating them 45 degrees to spread the load across the two bottom gears, this is all brand new territory for me, and as far as I know, FIRST in general, though I could be wrong about that. Does anyone know of any similar designs used in FIRST?

I'm a FIRST relic of sorts, I remember when we used PBASIC and we got CH Flightsticks in the KoP. In my day we didn't have motorized carts, we pushed our robots uphill, both ways! (Houston 2003!)
