Re: A new drivetrain Idea?

There are few posts in this thread that just explains how this idea would never work and how other kind of drive trains will work better (basically asking him to give up on this). I think that is pretty obvious that this design is in the very early stage, and it definitely has some potentials. Has any of you seen a drive train like this before? Team 47, Chiefdelphi designed the first swerve drive and over the years teams have come up with stronger swerve drive. I bet one of the robots could have pushed around chiefdelphi's first swerve drive easily at that point but it has been developed and modified by many teams over the years. Rather than telling Cody that this idea would never work, why not help him and give him ideas about how to make this new idea a reality?

Are there people here who wants to think outside the box and come up with new designs that has never been done in FIRST?

Keep in mind the first transmission I ever designed weighed 13 pounds, the second one I designed weight weighed 5 pounds. Designs can be reviewed and modified for the better. I am going to propose to all the chiefdelphi designers to come out here and post how can this design become a product. Thank you.
