Re: Team 1527 Chassis/Electrical/Pneumatics Design...

I jealous! That's some good looking and fast work!

We haven't even discussed what type of drive train we are going to use - we spent Saturday doing inventory and get the controls system wired and running on the test bench.

One suggestion - if you moved the cims and gearboxes to the empty space in front, and put the compressor between them, you could drop your electronics board down significantly, distribute the weight more evenly, and lower the entire center of gravity of the machine. I think that is going to be an important consideration this year.
