Re: pic: Ira's Senior Project
Thank you Andy!
It seems I was using the wrong RPMs, which would gave me the lower speed. Thank you for calculating the correct RPMs and speeds for me! And the AndyMark single speeds used are great. I saw how well they worked on Deuce, our 2007 robot, and figured they were the way to go. I did have to drill a few holes in them though... The gearboxes are mounted to the frame by having the bottom of the gearbox bolted down through the extruded. To prevent the gearboxes from wiggling any, the crossbar across the top was added, which is another peice of extruded bolted to the tops of both gearboxes. The result is a pretty ridged setup, as those gearboxes don't seem to go anywhere.
We're also going to add another lexan sheet above the electronics to protect the expensive stuff, which is tomorrow's project. We were able to get the robot running with the radio today, which I'll probably put a picture of up soon.
Once again, Thanks Andy!
