Re: pic: Cooney 269's Worm Crab Gearbox Interior

Actually we even added Armoral to the wheels to make them slicker, so they actually acted more like the skyway wheels. We were having turning problems so we decided that mobility would be more important.

The gearboxes turn 90 degrees in both directions, similar to Beatty's 2006 robot, I believe. We looked into a 360 gearbox but it would have required the rotation to be at the top of the motor due to the offset motor placement.
