Like Aren said, the numbers are easier if you use the same sized sprocket, but you don't have to. The math isn't too complicated if the size is different though 
Is this going to be co-axial, or is the motor going to be on the module? |
we are going to use the Gates-KIT-belting and pullies for steering,
its NonCo-axial,with a CIM in each module,and 2 globes for turning each set of wheels....
we thought about co-axial but we dont really have the machining tools to do it(or the experience) and we assumed it would be alot heavier(i dont know about this)
Dave-thanks for explaining that,I'd never really thought about that...hopefully we wont ever have to remove a module after we put it in(we tend to sacrifice weight for strength on our robots,06' escpecially)
