Re: pic: Madtown Robotics Future Frame Proto 1

A handful of things:
  • The motor, transmission and mount models are from http://www.teamdelta.com/products/prod5.htm

    It is not a CIM and it is a different model Dewalt gearbox than the NBD whitepaper calls for, as I recall. I can't say if it'd accept similar modifications and work the same way.
  • There's no way that tubing deflected several inches under that load. It would surely deform or fail before achieving that sort of deflection.
  • I designed 4" omniwheels for our 2008 robot that used a combination of custom components and AndyMark products. I'll see what I can do about making drawings of the individual parts. It might be a fun exercise to learn to model things from drawings instead of just expecting that someone will give you a completed model.
