Re: pic: Team Unlimited's Gear Shifter

Just a few questions about your gearbox and chassis design:
  • Is there a tendency for the gears to get stuck while switching gears in motion?
  • While it's stationary?
  • Are there ever issues with the chains on the sides falling off or becoming jammed? (Especially if hit by objects, like the rings or other robots.)
  • What is the purpose of the omni-wheels? It looks like they are suspended in mid-air and aren't actually used to support or drive the robot.
  • Is it necessary to have 2 motors per side?
