Re: Team 312: HeatWave multispeed swerve drive
I must say that looks absolutely fantastic. Truly a work of art. I guess its fair to mention that 9.4 pounds is pretty heavy. For a set of 4 in the standard rectangle configuration you're going to be at just under 40 pounds for the drive. That doesn't even include the chassis and the swerve portion of the set up. It looks pretty tough to lighten up as is. You're already using tiny chain for the first power transfer. Frankly though there isn't much you can do to make a better drive system. This is basically the pinnacle of FIRST drive trains, power, speed maneuverability. Incredible.
