Can you post a close-up of the transmission? Unless I'm a victim of forced perspective, it looks like a right compact number.
Yes, as soon as I finish modeling the rest of their parts. They're missing a bearing, a bushing and encoders. There's not much to look at, really. It's a two-stage reduction based on some of the parts provided in the kit transmissions.

What is the purpose of that third sprocket? Sensor perhaps?


Why exactly are you using an AM mecanum anyways? Didn't you make some really neat mecanums earlier this year?
The idler will drive encoders for position sensing. They also increase chain wrap.

I'm using AM's wheels because the wheels I developed do not belong to me. They were also far more expensive to manufacture.
