Re: Worm Gears

My old high school Team 195 used the a worm gear setup in 2002 with much success. I will try to swing by the high school today and snap some pics of it for you. Also in 2002 we used the no backdrive feature to our advantage. We had grippy tank treads, when we shut down out motors the only way to move us was to drag the robot across the carpet, no small feat with ~120 square inches of gum rubber on the floor with 130lbs pinning it down. Anyway if I grab the pics i'll toss them up for you.
