Re: A new drivetrain Idea?
one possible applicaiton of this winged-drive train idea
in several seasons we had to pick up objects/balls from the floor. Making a robot that is open on one side leves it vulnerable (you cant have an opening and a bumper at the same location) and you have a tradeoff between the footprint of the robot, and the max possible size of the opening
but if your drive train swung out into a wider footprint (on all four sides) you could have a significant advantage
plus, after you collect objects from the floor, you could close up again, to make the robot more robust, and compact, if there was an advantage to that configuration.
