Re: Drive Train Prototype

Way to go Nitesh and WBI - this is a cool design! I hope you bring this to IRI so we can check it out.

The bodies of these wheels are actually old and an inferior version of the current version. The plates used on this jump design are from 2008. These tabs were significantly less rugged, since the steel wall thickness was only 0.04" instead of the current thickness of 0.05".

I find that the 8" Mecanum tabs are quite sturdy.
