Re: {IDEA} The open source mechanisim project

I do totally understand where you are coming from but the greatest fun of this project is the trial and error to design. Students love to test items and see how they work. They learn so much this way. You do not want to have too many proven designed ideas out there available. This could take away some of the fun for designing. I do believe that drive systems could be available pre designed and proven that teams could use, this way they at least can have a moving robot to compete with. The rest should be left in the dark to test teams design abilities.
Our latest drive design that has been proven to work can be viewed at http://www.team1322.org/ideas.htm , we do not have complete CAD drawings just basic drawings of our six wheel omni directional drive system.
