Re: pic: Team 294 Drivetrain Module

Peter: I would love to look at your CAD files to get some more opinions, but I wouldn't want to copy of course. I want to get some freshman involved in this and get as much original stuff as we can. However, I do love to see how other people did things.

dbell: We're using a single loop of #35 chain, it just looks like belt because it was easier on myself and the computer. We wanted to make the modules as compact as possible; And since they are rather light already, we went with #35 over #25. I don't have the overall weight off of the top of my head, but they are about 15 lbs each. Two of these with our frame (which weighs 9.8 lbs) weighed in at about 40. The side rails are pocketed out and only weigh 2 pounds each.
