Re: Engineering Project on Mecanum Wheels-Please help me gather input
being that we're are an engineering school we have a lot of equipment.
- 16 Manual Mills,
- 8 Manual Lathe,
- 4 Vertical and Horizontal band saws,
- tube bending equipment,
- welding equipment,
- 2' x 2' x 2' work area CNC mill
- a small CNC lathe
- Multiple multi-purpose sanders.
- A roughly 12" by 12" by 18" work area rapid-prototyping machine
and there's equipment we use at our sponsor's: - a rapid prototyping machine that is roughly 3 times that size at Dana
- roughly 6' x 6' x 3' work area CNC mill at Dana
Most of the equipment gets used. We've never done any drive system that wasn't Tank but we have machined some interesting wheels (2004). I'm hoping i can get the team to work on a project over the summer to do this but i haven't gotten that started yet. I know that mecanum has less power than a 6-wheel drop center (west coast i think) but it is still a cool design. and for us, having a cool design will increase interest and overall help our team in the future. wish us luck =)
