Re: Easy OmniTrack

WOW! =O i've been working with this idea for a few years. Unfortunatly my CAD files were on a USB stick that was stolen at school. Heres what I have http://www.putfile.com/pic.php?img=6046594 it's in Solidworks(i'm not verry good at solidworks), i just installed Inventor 2008 the other day so i'll try and model it in there, it'll look alot nicer.

I think we need to discuss this, It's applications in FIRST are vast. And people are looking at torque more then menuverability, I think the instant directional changes will be more valuable then the ammount of torque the treads can put out, which happens to be only limited by the output of your gearbox =). Just so everyone knows, the treads should be placed in a Box formation, 1 on each side of the box, or in an H formation, this allows for multiple axis of stability and movement. I'd love to get into an AIM chatroom with you guys, my SN is Phillysteak527.
