Re: pic: Basic chassis done
I'm just curious as to why you are running dual wheels in the back.
There is no additional traction gained, the load is more spread out but a single wheel is plenty strong. |

Re: pic: Basic chassis done
one upside of having a large surface area is that the traction material will wear more slowly than a narrower wheel; more surface area means the forces are more widely distributed.
Also, while friction is not dependant on surface area, traction can be, under the right circumstances. for example, back in 2002 when you where allowed to lift 180# goals, teams would often tear up carpet fibers; the teams with narrow, high traction tires more than those with larger surface areas. by increasing the contact area, you spread the force around, so an individual carpet fiber is less likely to fail. more surface area, more carpet fibers sharing a given load. |

Re: pic: Basic chassis done
I like the smooth look. What are you going to cover your wheels with?

Re: pic: Basic chassis done
It really looks nice as usual guys! It looks like it has a pretty low ground clearance. With all the talk of ramps on robots this year do you have a plan to clear any ramp peaks so that you don't "high center"?

Re: pic: Basic chassis done
i like that a lot. 4 back wheels is an interesting choice, but i'll defer to the designers on this one as to how useful they'll be.
