Re: 07 Kit Wheel Bearings Dilemma
I had the kit bot together today in about half an hour, i went to grab the wheels and get those on and ran into this kinda problem......My solution: I took a piece of precision grounded 1/2" steel shaft, measured it, and then measured the ID of the bearings, they were exactly the same size.....It takes some effort to get em in the bearing holes, but they do eventually get in there.
Another problem that comes up is that the bearing are 1/2" ID and the holes that you would run the shafts through on the frame are 3/8", so obviously you have to fix this problem....A. If you are planning using the kit bot as your robot, I would turn down the ends and then assemble each side and put the bot together or B. What we're doing since were using this as a test bot, just drill out the holes to 1/2" and collar the shaft and wheels in place.
Let me know if anyone else comes up with solutions to these problems.
