Re: Redesign, 36mm question.

Today I replaced the 1515 with 1.25" square aluminum tubing, taking down the weight by more than 50%. We had two 60t sprockets laying around our shop so we put them on, making the ratio 11/60 - I didn't get a chance to run it yet - tomorrow we'll mount the grabber and fire it up and see how it works, and see if I'll need to make a Grainger run to get some smaller sprockets for the motors.

Thanks for your help Joe. We are running two of the 36mm 64:1 BaneBots gearboxes with the pillow blocks to power this thing.
