Re: pic: We got bored :)

that is #25 chain.....also those bolts are #6's for size reference

and the bearings are the 1/2" hex bore andymark ones enabling us to use the banebots wheels without custom hubs and not having to make spiffy shafts just buying some 1/2" hex stock and adding snapring grooves

we also have always used bearings in all spots on the drive out of just a nagging feeling bushings hurt efficiency we like the bots flying (not quite 254 but close).

Yeah i suppose we could bore out the shafts it would be quite easy, we'd thought of that and it would probably happen on the final version of a real bot. Also the Hex shaft is 2024 alum.

And we went for the orange wheels for the fact our team colors are orange and black and this one is for proof of concept and show, final we'll play around more

another awesome part about this is you can add 1 reduction between a cim and the input shaft and have a reasonable speed, no weight wasted on extra reduction to get to say a 6" or 8" wheel

Piloted and designed by Dillon i was just a consultant
