Re: pic: Speedy
I'm willing to bet if you made the gears out of plastic still, you might be able to make an FRC bot like this. But if they're metal... those gears would be HUGE.
I am extremely worried about efficiency of the transmissions killing the motor power on this. There are 4 reductions from the closest motor to the first wheel, but there's an extra reduction added for each motor, and another for the omni-wheel (the vex encoder's just thrown on the end, I don't think that takes much power to run).
I just attached the radio, controller, and battery pack tonight. The battery pack is attached to the bottom because it lowers the CG tremendously and I had no where else to put it. It leaves me with slightly under 1/2" of ground clearance though, so no off-roading excursions are planned for Speedy.
